Presenting someone to another person for the first time; bringing something new to a place or situation.
From Latin 'introducere,' combining 'intro-' (inside/inward) and 'ducere' (to lead). Literally means 'to lead inward or into a situation.'
The root 'ducere' (to lead) appears in conductor, educate, and aqueduct—they all involve leading something! When you introduce people, you're literally leading them into each other's presence.
