Etymology of ABFARAD

The word "abfarad" is derived from the combination of the Persian word "ab" (آب), meaning "water", and the name of the German physicist Michael Faraday.

The term was coined in the early 20th century to honor Michael Faraday, who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism. In particular, Faraday's notable work on electrolysis, electromagnetic induction, and the laws of electrolytic conduction led to the development of the unit "farad" to measure capacitance.

The prefix "ab-" in Persian denotes "off" or "away from". Therefore, when "ab" is combined with Faraday's name, "abfarad" essentially translates to "off Faraday" or "a unit named after Faraday". This word was created specifically to name a unit of capacitance equal to one billion farads.
