The supreme court case of in re kemmler deals with execution using electrocution.

In this type of execution (electrocution), death is caused as a result of an electric shock caused by passing high electric current through the human's body.
The word "electrocution" is a combination of the two words "electro" (coming from electricity) and "execution"
