Explanation: DEDUCTUM is the neuter singular form of the perfect passive participle of the Latin verb DEDUCO. It describes something that has been 'led away,' 'drawn off,' 'brought down,' or 'launched.' It can also refer to something that has been 'derived' or 'deduced' logically, or 'subtracted' or 'reduced' in quantity. In a military context, it could mean 'escorted' or 'led forth.' As a participle, it functions like an adjective modifying a neuter noun, or it can be used substantively to mean 'that which has been led away' or 'a deduction.'
