Etymology
The word is a modern Arabic loan built on إِلِكْترُون (electron), itself taken from European languages. To it Arabic adds the nisba suffix ـِيّ, which turns a noun into a relational adjective meaning "pertaining to." The European source traces back to Greek ḗlektron, meaning amber, the material that produces a static charge when rubbed.
