Morphology
conducive = conduct (semi-transparent) = con + duce + ive
The word is derived from 'conduct', but the specific meaning of 'making a situation more likely' is not directly inferable from 'conduct'.
Etymology
Conducive comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and ducere 'to lead', and is like the words conduct and duct, which mean 'to lead' or 'carry'. So, if something is conducive to a result, it helps 'lead' things toward that result and makes it more likely.
