inductively

/ˌɪnˈdəktɪvli/ adv

In an inductive manner; by using induction.

Word Origin Inductively comes from 'inductive', which is from Latin 'inducere' 'to lead in'. The breakdown in+duct+ive+ly shows the prefix in-, root duct- (lead), and suffixes. The root 'ducere' gives us a huge family: deduce (lead down), produce (lead forth), reduce (lead back), conduct (lead together), educate (lead out). So inductively means by way of leading in, as in inductive reasoning where you lead from specific cases to a general principle.
