Anode
An anode is the positive terminal from an electrical circuit. Due to conventional current, the anode is seen as the terminal in which positive charge is flowing out from, however positive charge does not flow, and it is actually the electrons leaving the cathode (negative end) and flowing into the anode [1]. Linked to anions and cations, anions are negatively charged ions and are attracted to the anode; cations are positively charged ions and are attracted to the cathode. See also x-ray anodes [2].
