Uh... Actually, it is not "inferred"...
It should be the two syllable "Infra" "Red" (or nowadays, often simply spelled "infrared").
It's an adjective meaning: "Designating or of those invisible rays just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum: their waves are longer than those of the spectrum colors but shorter than radio waves, and have a penetrating heating effect: used in cooking, photography, etc." (Attribute: definition courtesy of yourdictionary.com)
In our case, it is often referring to the invisible light typically given off by things like TV remote controls (for data communications purposes), or Sharp IR distance sensors.
I hope this helps!
