Word Origin & Etymology
Coined in the mid-18th century as a noun of action from the verb 'electrify', which derives from Modern Latin 'electrum' (from Ancient Greek 'elektron', meaning amber, a material observed by ancient philosophers to attract light objects when rubbed) combined with the suffix '-fication' (making or causing).
