Origin: Of uncertain origin. Either (i) formed within English, by blending. Or (ii) formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: transfer v., resistor n.; transconductance n., -istor comb. form.

Etymology: Either (i) a blend of transfer v. and resistor n., with reference to the device transferring electrical signals across a resistor, or (ii) < trans- (in transconductance n.) + -istor comb. form (compare earlier varistor n.).In sense 2 short for transistor radio n. at Compounds.

Electronics.

1. A semiconductor device, typically having three terminals and two junctions and capable of being used as an electrical switch or amplifier.Transistors allow the load current to be made to be proportional to a small input current and during the 1950's and 60's largely replaced thermionic valves as a means of amplifying and controlling electrical current, their smaller size, lower manufacturing costs, and lower power consumption leading to the mass production of smaller and more affordable electronic devices. Since their invention, transistors themselves have been manufactured in ever smaller sizes, with modern microprocessors typically containing billions of transistors (see Moore's law n.).

transistor radio n. a small portable radio having transistors and other solid-state devices in place of thermionic valves; cf. 2.Most commonly used in the 1960's and 70's (or with reference to those decades) to distinguish such radios from larger, valve-based radios.Quot. 1953 shows a compound of transistor and radio receiver.
