summised

Summised is the past tense and past participle of the verb "to surmise." To surmise means to suppose that something is true on the basis of incomplete information or intuition. It implies making a judgment or reaching a conclusion without definitive proof. For example, one might surmise that it will rain if they see dark clouds gathering. The act of surmising is a form of inference, drawing a probable conclusion from limited evidence. It is often used in contexts where certainty is not possible, and a degree of educated guessing or assumption is involved. The word originates from the Old French word "surmiser," meaning to accuse or allege. In modern usage, it focuses more on the act of inferring rather than accusing. When something has been summised, it means a conclusion has been reached based on these less-than-complete grounds. It suggests a tentative understanding or belief about a situation or fact.
