electrostatic storage
Computing term for a type of memory device that uses electrostatic charge to store data. Rare in everyday conversation; mainly found in technical documentation.
Electrostatic storage devices retain data using electric charge.
Compound of 静電 (seiden, 'electrostatic') + 記憶 (kioku, 'memory') + 装置 (sōchi, 'device'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is a modern technical coinage.
