semiconducting

/sˌɛmɪkəndˈʌktɪŋ/ adj

That has the characteristics of a semiconductor

Word Origin From semi- 'half' + conduct (from Latin conducere 'to lead together'). Semiconducting means 'partially conducting electricity'. The root ducere 'to lead' gives us conduct (lead together), deduce (lead down), induce (lead in), produce (lead forth), reduce (lead back), seduce (lead aside). So semiconducting is literally 'half-leading'. Related: conductor, conductivity, semiconductor.
