EtymologyEdit
Appears to be a coinage in Japan from Middle Chinese-derived components, as a compound of 電 (den, “lightning, electricity”) + 子 (shi, “small thing, particle”).
PronunciationEdit
NounEdit
電子 (hiragana でんし, rōmaji denshi)
Usage notesEdit
In compounds or when followed by the possessive particle の, this can be translated as either electron or electronic. Note, however, that in both cases this word in Japanese is still a noun.
