You do *not* understand correctly. Electrocution is, by definition, fatal, as

Be sure to emphasize "not".

you can readily confirm with any dictionary.

That appears to be the case. In fact the word seems to be combination
of electicity and execute, making the point even more clearly. I'm

It's worth commenting that a court or prison system can execute any

sentence. (That's not what accounts for my apparent mistake regarding
electocute.)
