An archaic or variant term possibly referring to a small unit of electric charge or an electrified particle.
Possibly from Greek 'elektron' (amber) with suffix '-ion' (a particle or element). Appears in very early electrical science texts but didn't survive in modern usage.
This ghostly word shows scientists experimenting with naming—they didn't yet have 'electron' as a term, so they tried variations like 'electrion' that eventually disappeared!
