Morphology

adducer = adduce (transparent) = adduce + er

A regular agentive noun formed with the productive English suffix '-er' from the verb 'adduce', so the meaning 'one who adduces' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Adducer comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and ducere 'to lead', and it shares the same duc root found in words like produce and conduct. So an adducer is literally someone who 'brings' or 'leads' evidence or examples into an argument.
