About
The word 推测 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a core conceptual action to create a new, unified meaning. The first character, 推 (tuī), carries the fundamental idea of "to push" or "to extend", implying a logical extension of thought. The second, 测 (cè), means "to measure", "to gauge", or "to fathom", suggesting an assessment of the unknown. When fused, the term visually and conceptually represents the process of extending one's reasoning to measure or gauge a likely outcome, thus forming the meaning "to infer" or "to speculate".
