Predication (philosophy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Predication in philosophy refers to an act of judgement where one term is subsumed under another.[1] A comprehensive conceptualization describes it as the understanding of the relation expressed by a predicative structure primordially (i.e. both originally and primarily) through the opposition between particular and general or the one and the many.[1]

Predication is also associated or used interchangeably with the concept of attribution where both terms pertain to the way judgment and ideas acquire a new property in the second operation of the mind (or the mental operation of judging[2]).[3]
