In a proposition the predicate is said as if coming from the subject itself

Evidence

According to [Aristotle] we have a proposition when the λγς focuses on an internal distinction between subject and predicate and for the most part when the ā€˜slope’ of such a λγς takes the indicative mode: what is said this way, and only this way, is said ā€˜as if we were coming from it’ (comme si on en venait). — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1170 (#expands, via linked claim)

An ā€˜analytic’ proposition is one in which the predicate is part of the subject; for instance, ā€˜a tall man is a man’, or ā€˜an equilateral triangle is a triangle’. — Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy, 2562 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
