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.
It is adding stuff like this to the wiki that makes it unreliable. This is a poor use of wiki to add a fake word that has no meaning.
