Here's how it works:
* "Ducit" is the third-person singular present active indicative form of the Latin verb "ducere", which means "to lead".
* The root "duc-" is the core meaning of "to lead" in Latin.
* "Duct" is a noun in English that means a passage or channel for conducting something, like water or electricity. It also has the meaning of "a guide or leader".
Examples of words using the root "duct":
* Aqueduct: A channel for carrying water.
* Conductivity: The ability to conduct heat or electricity.
* Abduct: To carry away by force.
* Deduce: To reach a conclusion by reasoning.
* Induce: To persuade or lead someone to do something.
It's important to note that the root "duc" can appear in English words in different forms, such as "duce" (e.g., "reduce") and "duct" (e.g., "deduct").
