Electrocute
Hi, what evidence do you have for electro- + execute? Conrad.Irwin 02:54, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a few sources:


 * The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology
 * Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
 * The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
 * Online Etymology Dictionary
 * Honestly we had a vicious circle before: electrocution etymology was "electrocute + -ion" and at the same time electrocute etymology described as "Back-formation from electrocution". --RedAndr 06:32, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool! Thanks. Conrad.Irwin 13:04, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
