It’s always fun when you learn the etymology of a word that is a little bit surprising. Did you know the word electric is related to the Latin word for amber?
This post at Useless Etymology explains the connection. It involves magnetism and cats, so of course I was intrigued!
Will it work its way into a story? Maybe. At the very least, it’s now another random bit of trivia floating around in my brain, which seems to be the way I come up with story ideas sometimes! I hope it will also be useful to you!
