Definition: a switching device designed to make or break the current in an electric circuit by means of the controlled conductivity of a semiconductor in that circuit

NOTE – In a circuit where the current passes through zero (periodically or otherwise) the effect of "not making" the current following such a zero value is equivalent to breaking the current.
