Electrocute

What is Electrocute?


1.

To kill something using electricity. In common usage, the word is incorrectly used as a synonym to "shock," which means to apply electricity to. This usage being far-spread does not make it correct, however.

Incorrect: My science teacher electrocuted me when I entered the classroom. (Unless your science teacher is a murderer.)

Correct: The man, condemned for third degree manslaughter and arson, was electrocuted.

See shock, electricity, the chair, execute, kill
