Etymology
From Latin educere (to draw out), from ex- (out of) + ducere (to lead). Ultimately from the Indo-European root deuk- (to lead) that led to other words such as duke, conduct, educate, duct, wanton, and tug

Duce (DOO-chay) is a loanword from Italian meaning a leader or dictator. Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini was known as Il Duce.
