1. cite

   To allege is formally to state as true or capable of proof, but without proving. To adduce, literally to lead to, is to bring the evidence up to what has been alleged. Adduce is a secondary word; nothing can be adduced in evidence till something has been stated or alleged, which the evidence is to sustain. An alleged fact stands open to question or doubt. To speak of an alleged document, an alleged will, an alleged crime, is either to question, or at least very carefully to refrain from admitting, that the document exists, that the will is genuine, or that the crime has been committed. Alleged is, however, respectful; to speak of the "so-called" will or deed, etc., would be to cast discredit upon the document, and imply that the speaker was ready to brand it as unquestionably spurious; alleged simply concedes nothing and leaves the question open. To produce is to bring forward, as, for instance, papers or persons. Adduce is not used of persons; of them we say introduce or produce. When an alleged criminal is brought to trial, the counsel on either side are accustomed to advance a theory, and adduce the strongest possible evidence in its support; they will produce documents and witnesses, cite precedents, assign reasons, introduce suggestions, offer pleas. The accused will usually assert his innocence. Compare STATE.

   Synonyms:
   adduce, advance, affirm, allege, assert, asseverate, assign, aver, claim, declare, introduce, maintain, offer, plead, produce, say, state

How to use CITE in a sentence?

1. Daniel Tillias:

   We call this a peace and happiness place. It can help with the cleansing that we want to see because we know that's what the children of Cité Soleil really deserve, they have a chance to hear birds singing in the garden. They have a chance to see a tree that they planted getting as tall as them.

2. Thomas Lee:

   I think there's no shortage of things people can cite, from the movement in currencies, to the weakness in commodities and fears about China, i think what everyone is looking for is a sign that markets are going to bottom. I don't think it's necessarily going to happen today, but I think we're getting very close.

3. John Kirby:

   I would think the Trump administration could -- if they choose -- cite the principle of self-defense under the UN Charter and conduct operations accordingly, but those operations would have to be proportional to the threat -- a threat that has now been made more challenging by the sophistication of Iranian air defenses.

4. Robert Jeffress:

   When Christians act violently they are acting in opposition to the teachings of their founder, Jesus Christ, they cannot cite a single verse in the New Testament that calls for violence against unbelievers. On the other hand, radical Islamists can point to a number of verses in the Koran calling for Muslims to ‘crucify the infidels.’.

5. Thomas Lee:

   There's no shortage of things people can cite, from the movement in currencies, to the weakness in commodities and fears about China, but at the end of the day if people are trying to take down risk, then it's going to make sense for them to sell their exposure in equities as well.
