Definition
To reverse or change the direction of (electric current), especially in an electric motor or generator; to undergo or cause commutation.
Etymology
From Latin commutatus (past participle of commutare 'to change'). Became a technical electrical term in the late 19th century with the rise of electric machinery.
Kelly Says
Without commutation—the switching of electric current direction—electric motors wouldn't work! This one Latin word describes the exact mechanism that powers everything from your toothbrush to electric cars.
