Word origin

The word 'duct' originated from the Latin word 'ductus', which means 'a leading'. It has been used in English since the 17th century to refer to a tube or passage that carries fluids, air, or wires. Over time, the term has expanded to include various types of channels or conduits, both in anatomical and mechanical contexts.
