Etymology
1. c.1375, "to lead by persuasions or other influences," from L.
inducere "lead into, persuade," from
in- "in" +
ducere "to lead" (see duke). Meaning "to bring about," of concrete situations, etc., is from 1413; sense of "to infer by reasoning" is from 1563. Electro-magnetic sense first recorded 1777.
2. From Middle English enducen, borrowed from Latin indūcere (“lead in, bring in, introduce”), from in + dūcō (“lead, conduct”). Compare also abduce, adduce, conduce, deduce, produce, reduce etc. Doublet of endue. See: Latin '
indūcō'.
