Meaning of ferroelectric
The primary meaning of "ferroelectric" refers to a type of material that exhibits spontaneous electric polarization.
Etymology of ferroelectric
The word "ferroelectric" originates from the Latin word "ferrum," meaning iron, and the Greek word "ēlektron," meaning amber, which was used to describe the material's ability to attract small objects when rubbed with fur.
The term "ferroelectric" was first introduced in the 1940s to describe materials that exhibited spontaneous electric polarization, similar to ferromagnetic materials.
