/trænˈzɪstə(r)//trænˈzɪstər/The word "transistor" was coined by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, the inventors of the first practical transistor, in 1947. The term is a combination of the words "transfer" and "resistor." It was derived from the device's ability to transfer electrical signals while also acting as a resistor. Shockley, in particular, is credited with suggesting the name "transistor" during a meeting with his colleagues at Bell Labs, where they were discussing the new device. He reportedly wrote down the word on a blackboard, and it stuck. The name was officially announced in a press release on June 24, 1948, and it quickly became widely adopted in the electronics industry. Today, the transistor is a fundamental component in modern electronics, and its name remains a testament to the ingenuity and innovative spirit of its creators.
