electricity (n.)

1640年代(布朗,来自吉尔伯特的现代拉丁语),源自 electric(见上)+ -ity。最初是指摩擦。

Electricity seems destined to play a most important part in the arts and industries. The question of its economical application to some purposes is still unsettled, but experiment has already proved that it will propel a street car better than a gas jet and give more light than a horse. [Ambrose Bierce, "The Cynic's Word Book," 1906]
电力似乎注定要在艺术和工业中扮演极其重要的角色。它在某些方面的经济应用问题仍未解决,但实验已经证明,它将比煤气灯更好地推动有轨电车,并提供比马更多的光。[安布罗斯·比尔斯,《愤世嫉俗者的词典》,1906年]
最早记录年份: 1640s
