    Electrode

    An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic


    part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte or a vacuum). The word was
    coined by William Whewell at the request of the scientist Michael Faraday from
    the Greek words elektron, meaning amber (from which the word electricity is
    derived), and hodos, a way.[
