Educe: (idoos) [verb] to bring out, develop. -- "The New York Times Everyday Reader's Dictionary of Misunderstood, Misused, Mispronounced Words", Laurence Urdang, Ed., The New York Times Book Company, 1972.
Example: Through patient and careful cultivation, Doris was able to educe the most delicate of perfumes from her garden of rare orchids.
