Riddle & Arnold A Copious and Critical English–Latin Lexicon, 1864
deduct
To take away; e.g., to deduct anything from a sum total, detrahere, deducere aliquid de summa: detrahere aliquid de tota pecunia (e.g., quinquagesimam partem): deductionem or decessionem de pecunia facere. To deduct 10 per cent., *remissionem centesimarum denarum facere. If = subtract, deducere only (Cic., Off., 1, 8, 59; in this sense, detrahere would not be Latin); to deduct anything from weight, subtrahere aliquid e pondere: not to deduct a farthing for anybody, nullum minium cuiquam deducere. Not a single farthing can be deducted, non potest triobolum hinc abesse (Plaut.).
