semiconductor (noun)
A semiconductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it better than an insulator but not as well as a pure conductor. It is a vital component used in making computer chips and electronic devices.
"Your smartphone works because it has many tiny semiconductors inside."
Think of a 'Semi' truck on a 'Conductor's' path. It's half-way between stopping and going.
Using 'semiconductor' to mean 'any electronic part'. → Using it only for materials with variable conductivity.
