Addition of Insinuation (stated) by way of Reasoning
Cat-aph´-a-sis, Greek, κατάφασις, an affirmation, or affirmative proposition, from κατά (kata), down, and φασις (phasis), a speaking, from φάναι (phanai), to say.
In this case the insinuation is added, not negatively, but positively: e.g.: "I pass by his deceit," etc., and thus adds the insinuation as to his deception.
