electrothanasia (uncountable)

  1. (archaic, rare) execution by electricity
    • 1889, The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, page 265:
      […] there is a want of harmony between electrothanasia, as it takes place, and the humane ideal of death by electricity as it seems to have been pictured in the minds of the promotors of the new law.
