Etymology of GALVANISE

The word "galvanise" derives from the surname of Luigi Galvani, an Italian physician and physicist who lived in the 18th century. Galvani is known for his experiments involving the electrical stimulation of animals, specifically using frog legs. These experiments led to the discovery of "animal electricity" or bioelectricity. Consequently, the English verb "galvanise" was formed, originally meaning to give an electric shock or stimulate with electricity. Over time, the term gained a metaphorical usage as well, referring to the act of stimulating or energizing someone or something, similar to the effect of an electric shock.
