The metal "copper" is a called a conductor (of electricity) but also a person who "conducts an orchestra and/or a choir" or "someone who manages a bus or a train" are also called conductors.
More details
This question is a very general one and there are several different answers which are all valid. For example, the metal 'copper' is a conductor; a person who directs an orchestra is called is a conductor; a conductor is someone who works aboard a bus or train!
The physics meaning of a conductor is a substance, body, or device that readily conducts heat, electricity, sound, etc.
E.g. copper is a very good conductor of electricity and heat.
<><><>
An electrical conductor is a substance that permits electrons to flow through it easily. Most metals are good conductors. In contrast, insulators are strongly resistant to any flow of electrons. Semiconductors can be controlled in their conductivity, and are thus very useful in electronics.
<><><>
A thermal conductor is a substance that permits the flow of heat. Interestingly, most electrical conductors are also good thermal conductors, since the electrons can also distribute the heat rapidly. However, there are also some good thermal conductors (such as diamond) that are good electrical insulators.
<><><>
A conductor of light is a substance that permits the flow of light. Interestingly, most conductors of light are not good conductors of electricity - they are insulators - but may or may not also be good thermal insulators. For instance diamond is a good conductor of light, is a conductor of heat but is still a good electrical insulator.

A conductor is something that allows electricity, heat or light to flow through it.
Most metals are conductors of heat and electricity. Some of the best conductors are gold and silver, copper, aluminum, iron and nickel.
For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
A conductor can actually have a couple different meanings. It can be someone that takes fares. It can be the director of a orchestra or even an object that conducts electricity.
A conductor is a substance that has attractive properties. Two examples are electrical and thermal conductors. An electrical conductor holds electricity effectively, and a thermal conductor holds heat effectively.
I think conducted mean when you conduct something

What is the definition of bare wire or conductor?
uncovered conductor such as insulation ,that is said to be bare conductor.
What is definition of semiconductor conductor and insulator?
semiconductor is intermediate between conductor and non conductor of electricity
What is another name for conductor?
Leader - guide - director - guard. For the physics definition of conductor, another name would be electric charger.
What is the definition of heat fusion?
heat fusion is to join things together by heat. ie plastic welding.
What is the definition of warm up?
To gently heat something.
Which is better a insulator or conductor to transfer heat?
By definition, a conductor.
What is the word for the definition material that transfers heat easily?
Conductor
What is definition of thermal conductor?
Allows heat to pass along it easilty.
What is the definition of thermal conductor?
Allows heat to pass along it easilty.
Is a good heat conductor a good insulator?
It really depends. Glass, for example, does a fair job at conducting heat, but it is an insulator to electricity, which is why it is usually used for the insulators on power lines. Metal, on the other hand, is usually a conductor of electricity, and a conductor of heat as well, so it depends.
Is fabric a conductor of heat?
It is not a heat conductor.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Is metal a heat conductor or insulator?
it is a heat conductor
Can heat pass thourgh a conductor?
That is the definition of a conductor. Yes.Answer.Pure heat can pass through anything except a vacuum. Generally though, electrical conductors are better conductors of heat although not necessarily. Beryllium oxide ceramic is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity which is why it is often used for the manufacture of some electronic components like RF power transistors.
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Why a diamond is a carbon but not heat conductor?
because it is a heat conductor!
Is copper a good conductor of heat and electricity?
yes copper is a good conductor of heat only becuase it comes in the conductor of heat
