    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 the scientist Michael Faraday from the Greek words `elektron` (meaning amber, from which the word electricity is derived) and `hodos`, a way.
