(unproductive) Used to form nouns meaning "the action of (a verb)" or "the result of (a verb)". Words ending in this suffix are almost always derived from a similar Latin word; a few (e.g. gumption) are not derived from Latin and are unrelated to any verb. More often, -ation is used.
Borrowed from Latin adductio, adductionis, from adducō (“to bring to oneself”), from ad + ducō (“to lead”). Compare French adduction. Equivalent to adduct + -ion or adduce + -tion. See adduce.
