Inferring:
Inferring means to find the meaning behind the text. Inferring and predicting are often misunderstood as the same thing, but, they are not the same. Predicting is making a guess about what will happen next. Whereas, inferring is to find the deeper meaning.
Example:
Inference: I infer that Daphne calls the palace a 'prison' because she's never been allowed to leave it. She probably saw the outside world from her window and wished to go out there.
