galvanising
Jolting into motion
Galvanising is the British spelling of galvanizing.
To galvanise is to coat metal with zinc to prevent rust, or to shock someone into action as if by electric current: The crisis galvanised the community into organizing.
The word comes from Luigi Galvani, who discovered that electricity could make dead frogs' legs twitch.
