pipes, tubes, or channels through which water, gases, or electrical wires are passed and protected, or figuratively, a means of conveying something.
From Old French 'conduit,' from Latin 'conducere' (to lead or guide together). Originally described aqueducts and water channels in Roman engineering.
Roman engineers built conduits that carried fresh water for miles into cities—some are still standing after 2,000 years! Modern cities are basically built on top of invisible conduits carrying water, electricity, and data, just like the Romans built theirs.
