Conduction in Malayalam
Conduction, as of heat or electricity, is ചാലകത്വം (chaalakathwam) in Malayalam, from a word meaning conductor plus an abstract ending. It is said chaa-la-kath-wam and belongs squarely to the science classroom.

All Malayalam words for “conduction”
- ചാലകത്വം (chaalakathwam) — Conductivity, conduction.
- പ്രേഷണം (preshanam) — Sending, despatching message, transmission, conduction, trajection.
ചാലകത്വം (chaalakathwam) covers conduction and conductivity; പ്രേഷണം (preshanam) is about sending or despatching, so it suits transmission of signals rather than conduction through a material.
