Definitions and meanings of "Thyristor"

What do we mean by thyristor?

A semiconductor diode having an extra "gate" terminal to switch it on

A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a special type of thyristor, which is a high-power (e.g. 1200 V AC) semiconductor device. It was invented by General Electric. GTOs, as opposed to normal thyristors, are fully controllable switches which can be turned on and off by their gate lead. Urban Dictionary
