Aqueduct comes from the Latin word aqua. It means water. Also, "duct" comes from the latin "Ducere", or "to carry".

Why is aqueduct spelled aqueduct instead of aquaduct?

It is because the name comes from a Latin word (they are Roman structures originally).Although we normally see 'aqua' as the Latin for water, aqueduct comes from 'aquaeductus' - see the following from the Online Etymology Dictionary (etymonline.com):from L. aquaeductus "conveyance of water," from aquae, gen. of aqua "water" (see aqua-), + ductus "a leading, conducting," pp. of ducere "to lead".So because it had both a and e, the word became aqu-E-duct, probably because that more closely represents the Latin sound than aqu-A-duct.
