suggest
Put an idea forward
Suggest means to put forward an idea for consideration without insisting on it: I suggest we leave early.
The word implies tentativeness—a suggestion can be declined.
Things can suggest without speaking: The evidence suggests foul play.
A hint or trace of something also suggests: a dish with just a suggestion of garlic.
To suggest itself is to come to mind naturally: A solution suggested itself.
