induction = induct (transparent) = in + duct + ion
This sense is a standard action noun formed from the verb 'induct' and means the act or process of inducting.
Etymology
Induction comes from the Latin parts in- 'into' and ducere 'to lead', so it originally meant 'leading into' a place or group. That's why an induction ceremony is the event that 'leads' a new person into a job or organisation.
