Derive by reasoning (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deduce

'derive by reasoning' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deduce that I've seen before include "Arrive at conclusion through logic" , "Infer like Sherlock" , "Reason out (something)" , "Arrive at reasoned conclusion from facts" , "Work out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Sun.
