induction
Reasoning from particulars
Induction is the act of formally installing someone in a position or organization: her induction into the Hall of Fame, military induction.
In logic, induction reasons from specific cases to general principles—the opposite of deduction.
In physics, electromagnetic induction generates current through a changing magnetic field; an induction stove heats cookware this way.
In medicine, induction of labor is the artificial starting of childbirth.
