Morphology

induction = induct (opaque) = in + duct + ion

The connection to 'induct' is clear, but the specific meaning related to cooking is not a standard grammatical derivation.

Etymology

Induction comes from Latin in- 'into' and ducere 'to lead', meaning to 'bring into' or 'cause'. So induction cooking is named because the hob uses magnetic energy to 'lead' heat into the pan directly.
