The word "introduced" derives from the Latin verb "intrōdūcere", which is composed of two elements: "intro" meaning "within, inside" and "dūcere" meaning "to lead" or "to bring". When combined, "intrōdūcere" means "to bring in" or "to lead inside". Over time, the word was adopted into Old French as "introduire", and eventually entered Middle English as "introduce" with the same meaning.
