"I propose to distinguish such bodies by calling those anions which go to the anode of the decomposing body" (OED).

"I have considered the two terms you [Faraday] want to substitute for eisode and exode, and recommend instead of them anode and cathode" (OED).

"I require a term to express those bodies which can pass to the electrodes, or, as they are usually called, the poles‥I propose to distinguish such bodies by calling those anions which go to the anode of the decomposing body; and those passing to the cathode, cations" (OED).

"I have considered the two terms you [Faraday] want to substitute for eisode and exode, and recommend instead of them anode and cathode" (OED).

"I wanted some new names to express my facts in Electrical science‥& applied to a friend Dr Nicholl who has given me some that I intend to adopt‥. What have been called the poles of the battery I call the electrodes" (OED).

"I wanted some new names to express my facts in Electrical science‥& applied to a friend Dr Nicholl who has given me some that I intend to adopt for instance a body decomposable by the passage of the Electric current, I call an ‘electrolyte’" (OED).

"For the two together you might use the term ions" (OED).
