Where does the word "seduce" come from?

"Seduce" comes from the Latin se "aside, away" and ducere "to lead." In the 1520s it meant "to persuade a vassal to desert" - the current sexual meaning "to entice one to fornicate" appeared by the 1550s. The concept of seduction, of course, is as old as humankind - the most popular work of medieval French literature was easily the Romance of the Rose (1405) which dealt with that topic, in the form of a "friend" offering lessons in how to go about it.

What about the word "spice?"

"Spice" comes from the Latin species "sort, kind." As a noun it is a vegetable substance for flavoring food, but can also mean "something causing excitement" as well as the color russet (a reddish-brown).
