Electro-vitalism :: Electro-vitalism (n.) The theory that the functions of living organisms are dependent upon electricity or a kindred force.

Subsextuple :: Subsesqui- () A prefix (also used adjectively) denoting the combination of constituents (especially electro-negative and electro-positive bodies) in the proportion of two to three; as, a subsesqui acetate, i. e., a salt having two equivalents of acetic acid to three of the base..

Electro-dynamometer :: Electro-dynamometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the strength of electro-dynamic currents.

Electro-positive :: Electro-positive (n.) A body which passes to the negative pole in electrolysis.

Basylous :: Basylous (a.) Pertaining to, or having the nature of, a basyle; electro-positive; basic; -- opposed to chlorous..

Electro-engraving :: Electro-engraving (n.) The art or process of engraving by means of electricity.

Electro-magnetic :: Electro-magnetic (a.) Of, Pertaining to, or produced by, magnetism which is developed by the passage of an electric current..

Chlorous :: Chlorous (a.) Pertaining to, or resembling, the electro-negative character of chlorine; hence, electro-negative; -- opposed to basylous or zincous..

Electro-vital :: Electro-vital (a.) Derived from, or dependent upon, vital processes; -- said of certain electric currents supposed by some physiologists to circulate in the nerves of animals..

Electro-dynamics :: Electro-dynamics (n.) The phenomena of electricity in motion.

Megavolt :: Megavolt (n.) One of the larger measures of electro-motive force, amounting to one million volts..

Electro-chronograph :: Electro-chronograph (n.) An instrument for obtaining an accurate record of the time at which any observed phenomenon occurs, or of its duration. It has an electro-magnetic register connected with a clock. See Chronograph..

Electro-tint :: Electro-tint (n.) A style of engraving in relief by means of voltaic electricity. A picture is drawn on a metallic plate with some material which resists the fluids of a battery; so that, in electro-typing, the parts not covered by the varnish, etc., receive a deposition of metal, and produce the required copy in intaglio. A cast of this is then the plate for printing..

Electro-magnet :: Electro-magnet (n.) A mass, usually of soft iron, but sometimes of some other magnetic metal, as nickel or cobalt, rendered temporarily magnetic by being placed within a coil of wire through which a current of electricity is passing. The metal is generally in the form of a bar, either straight, or bent into the shape of a horseshoe..

Magneto-electricity :: Magneto-electricity (n.) That branch of science which treats of the development of electricity by the action of magnets; -- the counterpart of electro-magnetism.

Electro-positive :: Electro-positive (a.) Hence: Positive; metallic; basic; -- distinguished from negative, nonmetallic, or acid..

Halogen :: Halogen (n.) An electro-negative element or radical, which, by combination with a metal, forms a haloid salt; especially, chlorine, bromine, and iodine; sometimes, also, fluorine and cyanogen. See Chlorine family, under Chlorine..

Electro-capillary :: Electro-capillary (a.) Pert. to, or caused by, electro-capillarity..

Galvanopuncture :: Galvanopuncture (n.) Same as Electro-puncture.

Electro-physiological :: Electro-physiological (a.) Pertaining to electrical results produced through physiological agencies, or by change of action in a living organism..
