A person whose job is to install, fix, and maintain electrical systems, wiring, and equipment. They make sure electricity is used safely in homes, buildings, and machines.
From 'electric' plus the suffix '-ian' meaning 'person who works with or specializes in.' 'Electric' comes from New Latin 'electricus' (like amber), from Greek 'ēlektron' (amber), because rubbing amber produces static electricity. The profession name grew as electricity became common in daily life.
