Etymology Origin:
The word "introduce" originates from Latin introducere, combining intro- ("within") and ducere ("to lead"). The literal sense was "to lead inside," which evolved into the modern meanings of presenting something new or bringing someone into a group. The logic reflects guiding or ushering something/someone into a new context.
