Same family: electronics, electrical, electric, electronicly, electronicity. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: “Electronic” comes from the word “electron,” which was coined in the late 19th century from Greek ‘ēlektron,’ meaning amber, because rubbing amber can produce static electricity. As technology developed in the 20th century, “electronic” became the standard word for devices that work using controlled electrons, like radios, computers, and phones.
