If you had read Eliot's "Burnt Norton" like I told you to, you'd have learned this word a long time ago.
@Mugs: Well it's possible that I'd already heard this term - it sounded familiar, though the definition escaped me. I happened on it by accident because of a typo and subsequent mis-clicking when searching for "electrocution" on Webster's site.
I think you should have typed "erectation."
