† anelectricn.adj.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ana- prefix, electric adj.

Etymology: < ana- prefix + electric adj., after French anélectrique (1771). In later use with reanalysis of the first element as an- prefix². Compare earlier idio-electric n. and idio-electric adj..

Obsolete.

A. n.

1. A material, substance, or body thought to be incapable of acquiring a static electric charge when subjected to friction. Contrasted with electric n. 1, idio-electric n.Experiments in the early 19th cent. demonstrated that materials, such as metal, thought to be anelectric could in fact be charged electrically by friction, although they did not retain this charge unless insulated.
