Answer:
The word electricity comes from the Greek electron, which doesn't mean what you might expect. It means "amber," that yellow or reddish brown stone used for jewelry. The ancients noticed that when you rub amber, it gets an electrostatic charge and will pick up light things like feathers and straw.

2. In Greek, 'elektron' refers to amber, which is a very pretty goldish brown stone that sparkles yellowish-orange in sunlight.
