Root Explanation

Transductional → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across) and "ductio" (from "ducere", meaning to lead) and the suffix "-al" (meaning relating to). The word "transductional" refers to something that relates to the process of leading or carrying across, particularly in the context of biological or physical processes.
