Root Explanation

Conductive → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "ducere" (meaning to lead). The word "conductive" refers to the ability to lead or transmit energy, heat, or electricity together through a material.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'leads' ('ducere') energy 'together' ('con-') — that's why conductive means able to transmit energy.
