The Economist, 17 Feb. 2018 Instead galvanism led to life-saving interventions—the pacemaker and the defibrillator among them. Charles Kenny, Slate Magazine, 16 Jan. 2017 Word History
Etymology
borrowed from French galvanisme, from Luigi galvani (who conducted pioneering experiments in bioelectricity) + -isme -ism
Note: The French words galvanisme and galvaniser were apparently introduced by Alexander von humboldt in a letter, dated January 24, 1796 ("Lettre de F. Humboldt à M. Pictet … sur lʼinfluence de lʼacide muriatique oxygené et sur lʼirritabilité de la fibre organisée, lue a lʼInstitut national"), published in the Magasin encyclopédique, ou Journal des sciences, des lettres et des arts (Lʼan quatrième [1795],) pp. 462-72. In a footnote Humboldt states "Les mots de galvanisme, galvaniser, dont je me sert, sont formés dʼaprès ceux de magnétisme, magnétiser. Ils sont recommendables pour sa briéveté." ("The words galvanism, galvanize, which I make use of, are modeled on magnetism, magnetize. They are commendable for their conciseness.")
First Known Use
1797, in the meaning defined at sense 1
Time Traveler
The first known use of galvanism was in 1797 👨🏻🏫 Mr. Ng 韋氏詞典 📚 – mw.mister5️⃣.net
