elex²

Where it comes from

Clipping of electric, electronic, electrics or electronics + -x (abbreviation marker).

adjective

  1. abbreviation, informal, not comparable Abbreviation of electric or electronic. Some minor metalworking required, and you'd need to stick 3 or 4 electronic parts together. […] The elex parts might be the little Hall sensor, a 5-volt regulator as LM78L05 (about 40 cents), a small cap and a 9-volt battery. You'd measure the output voltage with an ordinary DVM.

noun

  1. abbreviation, informal, uncountable Abbreviation of electrics or electronics. I was just at a local elex store looking for a conductive pen. none in stock, but they had this 6 foot long thing of copper circuit tape, 1/16th of an inch big, still too big for the cpu, but if i cut it in the middle making it 1/32nd of an inch, it will fit and not cross other bridges!
