Morphology
transduction = transduce (transparent) = trans + duce + ion
Derived from the verb 'transduce' with the nominalizing suffix '-ion'; structurally transparent though the meaning is specialized to genetics.
Etymology
Transduction comes from trans- ('across') and duct ('to lead'), the same root you see in conduct. In biology it is like a tiny mail ferry that 'leads' DNA across from one cell to another, so transduction means the transfer of genetic material between cells.
