a kind of device that is with electricity

Electronic (adjective) means: a kind of device that is with electricity. It emerges from device, electricity: device and electricity together are a kind. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 7, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
