Root Explanation
Inducing → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "ducere" (meaning to lead). The word "inducing" means leading someone into a particular state or condition, often used in the context of causing an effect or action.
Memory Tip
Think of 'leading' ('ducere') someone 'into' ('in-') a certain state — that's why inducing means to lead someone into a specific condition.
