Word origin
The word 'conduit' originated from the Old French word 'conduit', which meant 'a pipe, tube, or channel'. It has been used in English since the late 14th century to refer to a channel for conveying water or other fluids. Over time, the meaning expanded to include the electrical context and the metaphorical use of a conduit as a channel for information or influence.
