predicating |
1 definition found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Predicate \Pred"i*cate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Predicated}; p. pr & vb n. {Predicating}.] [L. praedicatus p. p. of praedicare to cry in public, to proclaim. See {Preach}.] 1. To assert to belong to something to affirm (one thing of another); as to predicate whiteness of snow. 2. To found to base. [U.S.] Note: Predicate is sometimes used in the United States for found or base; as to predicate an argument on certain principles; to predicate a statement on information received. Predicate is a term in logic, and used only in a single case, namely, when we affirm one thing of another. ``Similitude is not predicated of essences or substances, but of figures and qualities only.'' --Cudworth.
