Etymology
Seductress comes from Latin parts se- meaning 'away' and ducere meaning 'to lead', and you can see the same 'lead' root in words like conduct. So a seductress is literally someone who 'leads away' another person, which is why today it means a woman who tempts or entices someone, often into sexual activity.
