Etymology
The word electrostatic comes from electro-, the same part in electricity and from a Greek word for 'amber' because people found rubbing amber makes a small electric effect, and static, meaning 'standing' or 'not moving', so electrostatic describes electric charge that stays in one place and can make small things stick.
