A Dictionary of Law
Lat. To divine; to conjecture or guess; to foretell. Divinatio, a conjecturing or guessing. Divinatio, non interpretatio est, que omnino recedit a litera. That is guessing, not interpretation, which altogether departs from the letter.
Bac. Max. 18, (in reg. 3,) citing Yearb. 3 Hen. VI. 20.
