Of course you should not accept Wikipedia as the
final authority on anything, and it does not even pretend to be the final authority. Any respectable article on Wikipedia will have a section at the end where references to support the article are cited, and you can follow those to find supporting information. That was the test that the word in question here failed, because the only available references apparently only pointed back to here. The technical and professional electronics magazines and web sites in the English language already have pretty much settled on their word of choice anyway.
