Etymology
Reduction comes from Latin re- 'back' and ducere 'to lead', and old chemists used it for 'bringing back' a metal to its pure form. So in chemistry, reduction is the change when an atom 'gains electrons' (often by losing oxygen or getting hydrogen), which 'brings it back' to a state with less oxygen.
