"提出，呈現，或提供，引用作爲權威或證據，"早在15世紀初， adducen，源自拉丁語 adducere "引導至，帶至，帶領，" 來自 ad "至" (參見 ad-) + ducere "引導" (源自 PIE 詞根 *deuk- "引導")。相關詞: Adduced; adducing。
To allege is to make an unsupported statement regarding something; to adduce, on the other hand, is to bring forward proofs or evidence in support of some statement or proposition already made: as, he alleged that he had been robbed by A. B., but adduced no proof in support of his allegation. [Century Dictionary]
allege 是對某事做出無依據的聲明； 而 adduce，另一方面，是提出證據或證據來支持已經做出的某些聲明或提議：例如，他 alleged 他被 A. B.搶劫，但 adduced 他的指控沒有提供任何證據。[世紀詞典]
