Etymology
Resistivity comes from the verb resist ('to stand against' or 'say no') and the ending -ivity which makes a noun about a 'quality'. So, resistivity is the quality of a material that 'stands against' the flow of electric current, and it measures how much the material stops or slows electricity.
