To adduce is to bring out facts, reasons, or examples in order to show that something is true. You adduce evidence; you adduce a reason. It is a formal courtroom-and-essay word — lawyers, academics, careful writers. A student would almost never say it to a friend. In ordinary English you give reasons, put forward evidence, or cite something. Though actually, it is a little more active than mention: you are leading the fact forward as support, not just naming it. If you only say a thing happened, you have not yet adduced proof.

組成From Middle English adducen, from Latin addūcere, adductum, “to lead or bring to,” from ad- (“to, toward”) + dūcere (“to lead”). You “lead” the proof toward the argument.
