Plural of electrocution: instances of death or severe injury caused by electrical current passing through the body.
From 'electrocute' + '-ion' + '-s' (plural). The word itself is young, dating only to the 1890s when electric execution became a legal method.
Electrocutions in workplaces and homes became a major public health concern in the early 1900s, leading to the electrical safety codes and standards we follow today to prevent accidental deaths!
