seduire (1121-25)

[gdw]

[ FEW: 12,331b subducere; Gdf: ; GdfC: 10,649c seduire; TL: 9,321 seduire; DEAF:  souduire (seduire); DMF:  séduire; TLF:  séduire; OED:  seduce v.; MED:  seduis a.; DMLBS: 3005b seducere ]
sedoire,  sedure  

Although seduire is ultimately from the same Latin etymon as suduire (subducere, cf. FEW), the se- spelling of seduire is witness to a separate development via Latin seducere (ultimately also from subducere).
