Word: Faradism
far - a -dism (noun)
faradize; far - a - dize (verb) [Medicine/Medical] : to stimulate or treat (muscles or nerves) with induced alternating electric current
End Notes: Mary Shelley was allegedly inspired to write Frankenstein after witnessing a anatomy experiment involving putting an electrical current through frog's legs causing them to mimic the leaping action.
