I just find it interesting because I saw a video on this exact definition the other day, being pedantic about electrocution specifically meaning death. It must have been like the definition for “literally” where because of its usage, now includes the definition of “figuratively.”
Oh shoot, you’re totally right! I’ll admit I skimmed - thank you for calling me out on that.
I’ll still stand by the fact the definition has changed over time, but I can’t really argue much of anything after such a big fuckup lmao.

This is why we base scientific words on Latin - dead language doesn’t change.
