Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, that carries both meanings of its singular. In everyday use it names tradespeople who install and repair wiring and equipment. Older writing can use the same plural for scientists who studied electricity itself. That meaning is archaic now, so in historical prose, check the context to tell whether a group of electricians means workers in the trade or researchers.
