jimaginary number
A portmanteau of "j" and "imaginary" for the imaginary component of a complex number. This means the same thing as Imaginary Number, and typically this number would have an italicized i after it. In electrical engineering, the letter "i" has other and more apparent meanings, so to avoid confusion we pick the next letter, j.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue?
