Adduce is a verb that means to cite as evidence. The Latin word adducere (ah doo SER ay) means to lead towards. When we lead someone toward a conclusion, we adduce them — with evidence. Example: My wife adduced a number of incidents of cookie thievery to help me realize our cat Tabitha was nibbling on food in the night. By citing these example, she made the case very clear.
