ABDUCTION

Etymology of abduction (απαγωγή).

From the Latin verb abduco:
ab [από; apo] + duco [from the Greek verb defco (δεύκω, φροντίζω; take care of, look after)]

abductio n < ab (from)+ duco (drive, lead): Latin root

but the origin is Greek:

ab < apo (gr. "from") + duco < ago (gr. "to drive", "to lead")> ap(o)ago = apago (ap'agoo)
