A small needle-like structure that conducts or guides; possibly a historical medical instrument.
From Latin 'acus' (needle) combined with 'ductor' (leader, from 'ducere' meaning to lead or conduct). A rare compound term for guiding implements.
Medieval surgical instruments had wonderfully specific Latin names—'acuductor' seems to have meant a needle guide or conductor, part of a tradition where tools were named by their function in dead languages that all educated doctors understood.
