Ujm “Example: “Chashmal”, which means electricity in MH, comes from the Loshon HaKodesh word found at the beginning of Yechizkel which is the name of the Angel of Fire. The idea of taking the name of the Malach of AIsh and using it to mean “electricity” was the implication that whereas in the olden days we believed in angels as explanations for things, today we believe in technology.”

-What do you want them to call electricity then? What was the Torah word for it back when it wasnt invented/used yet? Also how does it imply that we thought angels were explanations for things and now technology is? Where did you get that from?

Also isnt electricity likened to fire thats why its assur on Shabbos in the category of Aish?
