N-COUNT
Electrode
(a) The terminal of an open electric circuit.
(b) The terminals of the metallic or solid conductors of an electric
circuit, immersed in an electrolytic solution.
(c) The terminals between which a voltaic arc is formed, always in
practice made of carbon, are termed electrodes.
(d) In electro-therapeutics many different electrodes are used whose
names are generally descriptive of their shape, character, or uses to
which they are to be applied. Such are aural electrodes for the ears,
and many others.
(e) The plates of a voltaic battery.

Electrode
An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air). Electrodes are essential parts of batteries that can consist of a variety of materials depending on the type of battery.
The electrophore, invented by Johan Wilcke, was an early version of an electrode used to study static electricity.
