Inflections: Plural volts, unchanged.

Forms: also occasionally with capital initial.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Alessandro Volta.

Etymology: < Volt- (in the name of Alessandro Volta: see voltaic adj.¹).

†1. A unit of resistance equal to one farad per second. Obsolete. rare.The unit of ‘tension’ (voltage) at this time was the ohma; see ohm n.²

1861 L. Clark & C. Bright in L. Clark Exper. Investig. Laws Propagation Electr. Current 49/2 Let us derive terms from the names of some of our most eminent philosophers... We shall then have the following table: A.—Tension. 1 Daniell's Element = 1 Ohma, or unit of tension... B.—Quantity. 1 Ohma, by 1 metre square at 1 milliometre [sic] distance = 1 Farad, or unit of quantity... D.—Resistance. 1 Farad per second = 1 Volt, or unit of resistance.

2. A unit of electric potential and electromotive force (now incorporated in the International System of Units), equal to the potential difference between two points on a conductor carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt, and equivalent to the potential difference across a resistance of one ohm when one ampere is flowing through it. Symbol V.In 1893, at the International Electrical Congress, a definition of the volt based on the electromotive force of a standard cell known as the Clark cell was established. This unit was known as the international volt, and was later redefined in terms of the international ampere. At the 1948 General Conference on Weights and Measures, the use of the international volt was abandoned and the volt was redefined in terms of the absolute ampere.Often used as a modifier with a preceding numeral to specify the voltage supplied by a battery or power supply, or the voltage required by an electrical device, e.g. 1.5-volt battery.Frequently also with combining forms denoting multiples of this unit, as kilovolt, millivolt, etc.

1868 L. Clark Elem. Treat. Electr. Measurem. vii. 43 The unit of tension, or electromotive force, is called the volt, and it does not differ greatly from that of a Daniell's cell.

1894 Proc. Internat. Electr. Congr. Chicago 1893 17 As a unit of electromotive force, the international volt,..which is represented sufficiently well for practical use by ¹⁰⁰⁰/ ₁₄₃₄ of the electromotive force between the poles or electrodes of the voltaic cell, known as Clark's cell.

1947 P. I. Smith Pract. Plastics iii. 22/2 Tests carried out on a 230 volt 15 amp. safety socket fitted with a shield moulded of urea formaldehyde resin.

1969 G. Chapman & J. Cleese in Monty Python's Flying Circus (1989) II. xi. 105 This parrot wouldn't voom if I put four thousand volts through it.

2012 Atlantic Jan. 69/1 The tiny voltage transformer that sits on top of a spark plug and converts the battery's 12 volts into the 30,000 volts needed to fire a spark.
