词源late Middle English (denoting the action of bringing back): from Old French, or from Latin reductio(n-), from reducere ‘bring back, restore’, from re- ‘back, again’ + ducere ‘bring, lead’. The sense development was broadly similar to that of reduce; senses (1) and(2) date from the late 17th cent.
