SI unit of electric potential (4)

I believe the answer is:

volt

(Other definitions for volt that I've seen before include "Electrical SI unit named after a pioneering Italian physicist, d. 1827" , "Electricity unit" , "Electrical unit of measurement" , "A measure of electricity" , "Unit of electric force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
