Electricus is the latin word for electricity I believe; it means amber or amber-like.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New/corrected answer:

It has evolved into the present usage of "electricity" from the root word electr- .

BUT it is from Ancient Greek, not Latin. electr- G ἤλεκτρον. It does mean:

1. Amber, amber-colored;

2. Electric (modern usage)

and also Electric Eel Electrophorus electricus

and even Broad-billed Motmot Electron platyrhynchum;
