Etymology
Cathodic comes from Greek parts kata- 'down' and hodos 'way', so it originally meant a 'way down'. In electricity and chemistry a cathode is the place where certain reactions happen, so cathodic describes things that happen at that part, for example metal forming or protection from corrosion.
