electromaticadj.

Brit.

/ᵻˌlɛktrəˈmatɪk/, U.S.

/əˌlɛktrəˈmædɪk/,

/iˌlɛktrəˈmædɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by blending. Etymons: electro- comb. form, automatic adj.

Etymology: Blend of electro- comb. form and automatic adj.; compare -matic comb. form.Electromatic was earlier registered as a trademark for a particular kind of telephone in 1912; the application to traffic lights is shown by a later registration of 1932.

Designating electrical equipment operated automatically, esp. traffic lights that respond to the passage of vehicles.Frequently in brand names.
