Electrocution = death

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Google and the Oxford dictionary disagree.

Definition of electrocution: injure or kill by electric shock

And Cambridge says it means to die from it.

I wonder if the origin of the word was a portmanteau of electricity and execute.

Execute to death, of course
