Conclusum

/kənˈkluːsəm/ noun

Definition

In logic, the conclusion of a syllogism or formal argument.

Etymology

Latin neuter past participle of concludere, literally 'that which is concluded' or 'the concluded thing.'

Kelly Says

Medieval logicians used this term to distinguish the final statement of a syllogism (the conclusum) from the premises that lead to it—it's Latin precision that modern English largely abandoned for simply saying 'conclusion.'
