The root word comes from the Latin, and means 'to lead'. The 'duct' part is the 'lead' part, and we meet it in conducive, conduct, duct, ductile, and so on.

Conductors are used to transfer energy or a material from one place to another. We have conductors for heat, sound, vibration, electricity, and so on.

A word with the opposite meaning is 'insulator'.
