英语词汇mho的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

mho. It is safe to make the earthshaking claim that this is the only word deriving from a man’s name spelled backwards. This unusual crossword puzzle and Scrabble word means just the opposite of the ohm; mho is the electrical unit of conduction, while the ohm is the electrical unit of resistance. The inverted word, whose plural is mhos, was coined by Lord Kelvin and of course honors physicist Georg Simon Ohm, just as the ohm does. In fact, the mho is often called a reciprocal ohm. See mahernia; quisqualis.
