English

Etymology

From conduce +‎ -er.

Noun

conducer (plural conducers)

  1. That which conduces; a conducive factor.
    • 1873, Sir William Francis Butler, The Great Lone Land:
      The fish was by no means bad; but I have reason to believe that my performance in the matter of eating it was not at all a success. It is true that stifling atmosphere, intense heat, and many varieties of nastiness and nudity are not promoters of appetite; but even had I been given a clearer stage and more favourable conducers towards voracity, I must still have proved but a mere nibbler of sturgeon in the eyes of such a whale as Chicag.
  2. A person who is both a participant in, and contributor to, a given creative work; one who participates in conductive activity.
    • 2007, Erez Reuveni, Authorship in the Age of the Conducer‎[1]:
      This theme has been explored exhaustively elsewhere in the context of shrinkwrap and clickwrap licenses, but is even more important a concern for conductive creativity. Conducers are not your grandfather’s consumers of creative works. They create and produce valuable computer software, literary and artistic works, news, and informational content, and contribute immensely to the sum of human knowledge and the public welfare.
