How it's used
Functions as a modifier that attaches directly to nouns to indicate they are powered by electricity rather than manual force or fuel. It is strictly a prefix and cannot stand alone as a verb or noun. It is increasingly common in modern life as more household items shift from manual to battery or plug-in operation.
