define introduced
To introduce something is to bring something new to a situation. If your roommate never cleans up after herself, you might try to introduce some new housekeeping policies. Or, introduce yourself to someone who is looking for a new roommate.
Introduce has a number of related meanings. Itβs often used when bringing people together for the first time, as when a talk show host introduces a guest to the audience, or when you introduce a new girlfriend or boyfriend to your parents. Introduce comes from the prefix intro-, meaning “into,” and the Latin word ducere, meaning “lead” β just as you may have to lead (or drag) your new sweetheart in to meet your parents.
Now, will one of you be kind enough to introduce himself and the class?
Would it be wise to invade this home just at this juncture and introduce boarders?

The group introduced a bill in the House on Thursday, hoping to thwart a city council vote this month recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. Five states β Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont β allow gay marriage.
More than 30 lawmakers have signed on as co-sponsors of the House bill, said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. However, all but two are Republicans, and it will be a fight to get the bill approved in a Democratic-controlled Congress and signed by President Barack Obama.
