The word is derived from the arabian word "'anbar"
which means "amber". Remember: The phenomen of
electricity was discovered in the first place by the ancient
Greeks, who examined rods of amber, which have a disposition to
be naturally electrically charged. Hence, our words
"electric", "electricity", and so on, are
derived from the Greek word for amber, "electron"
(Latin: "electrum"). So, in Will's (and our) world, the
Greek word for amber was used to name electricity, while in
Lyra's world the arabian word was used, indicating that the
ancient Arabians discovered electricity there...
