electromotive

/ɪlˌɛktɹoʊmˈoʊɾɪv/ adj

of, relating to, or producing the movement of electrons (an electric current)

Word Origin Combining electro- (from Greek ēlektron 'amber,' the source of static electricity) and motive (from Latin movere 'to move'). Electromotive force is literally 'electricity-moving force.' The root movere gives us move, motion, motor, emotion, and promote. The electro- prefix appears in electron, electric, and electrocute.
