Aug 7, 2020 at 23:29 comment added Voltage Spike Is it bad that there are so many meanings? There is nothing in the English language that suggests that the same word must mean similar meanings in different contexts. Here is another one, the word boot (as in boot your computer) comes from the shortened form of the word bootstrap (a computer), which comes from a phrase "pull oneself up by their own bootstraps" which is impossible, yet computers do it all the time.

Aug 7, 2020 at 7:24 comment added jonk I also found this one where I spent more time discussing details of the bootstrap loop used to create a current source.
Aug 7, 2020 at 7:18 comment added jonk See an early post of mine from years ago at bootstrapping to increase input impedance and a more recent one using bootstrapping to create a current source for two examples.
