释义

conducev.

Brit. /kənˈdjuːs/, /kənˈdʒuːs/, U.S. /kənˈd(j)us/
Etymology: < Latin condūcĕre to lead together, collect, unite, connect; also, to hire, contract for; also of things, to contribute, be serviceable, conduce; < con- together + dūcĕre to lead, draw. This Latin verb, which became in French conduire (with lengthened stem conduis-), has given many representatives in English, viz. i. condue, condye (through French), with 2. the shortened cond; 3. conduce; 4. conduyte (through French); 5. conduct: the last two from the participial stem conduct-. Of these cond, conduce, conduct, survive in differentiated senses.
