Infer through careful reasoning (6)

I believe the answer is:

deduce

(Other definitions for deduce that I've seen before include "Arrive at conclusion from studying facts" , "Solve by reasoning" , "Reason out (something)" , "Infer from the evidence" , "Infer by reasoning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
