deduce

To deduce or infer: to reach a conclusion based on evidence or reasoning.
To deduct or subtract: to take an amount away from a total, especially in financial or legal contexts.

Deducir is a verb. It is irregular in some forms: its first-person present is deduzco, and its preterite includes deduje.

It comes from Latin deducere, formed from de- (“away” or “down”) and ducere (“to lead”).

inferir — “to infer”; very close to deducir in the reasoning sense.
concluir — “to conclude”; emphasizes the result rather than the reasoning process.
restar — “to subtract”; a general mathematical synonym for the financial sense.
añadir — “to add”; an antonym of the subtraction sense.
