Etymology

The word "electronically" derives from "electronic," which originates from "electron" (coined in 1891 from Greek "ēlektron" <amber, later associated with electric charge>). The suffix "-ic" forms adjectives, "-al" further specifies the adjective, and "-ly" converts it into an adverb. The term reflects the evolution of technology, transitioning from the study of electrons to describing systems operated by them.
