'seducer' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'seducere,' where 'se-' meant 'apart' and 'ducere' meant 'to lead.'

'seducere' transformed into the Old French word 'seduire,' and eventually became the modern English word 'seduce' and its derivative 'seducer.'

Initially, it meant 'to lead apart or astray,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to entice someone, especially into sexual activity or wrongdoing.'
