verb (used with object), predicated, predicating. 1. to proclaim; declare; affirm; assert. 2. Logic. to affirm or assert (something) of the subject of a proposition. to make (a term) the predicate of such a proposition.
The predicate in traditional grammar is inspired by propositional logic of antiquity (as opposed to the more modern predicate logic). A predicate is seen as a property that a subject has or is characterized by. A predicate is therefore an expression that can be true of something. Thus, the expression is moving is true of anything that is moving.
