Relating to or using the method of inductive reasoning; moving from particular examples to general principles.
From Greek 'epagōgikós,' derived from 'epagōgḗ' (induction). The adjective form developed as philosophers discussed inductive methods in logical treatises.
Epagogic reasoning is how a child learns that 'fire is hot'—they don't need a physics textbook, they just touch it once and suddenly understand the universal principle through one painful example!
