English term or phrase: terminal electrode
The charging comprises applying the electrical current to a terminal one of the permeable electrode bodies, with the charging electrode functioning as the anode and the terminal electrode body functioning as the cathode.

cathode terminal (terminal electrode)
terminal de cathode


Explanation:
Translating the paraphrased English suggested in the discussion:

the body of the cell serves as the cathode terminal
-->
le corps de la cellule sert de terminal de cathode

disagree  meirs: Sorry to disagree - but ST defines which physical (mechanical) part is used as Cathode - so you cannot call it "Cathode" right away and skip the mechanical definition - to which mechanical part is the minus wire connected

Reference: terminal vs. terminal

Reference information:
I think that teh St uses teh word "terminal" in two different meanings:
1. Electrical terminal (FR borne) - the place to which one connects a wire (where the wire "ends")
2. As "distal", "last one", "farthest" (same as for a bus terminal - where the line ends/begins) - so the "terminal electrode" actually means "the last electrode" (in a series of electrodes).
So "the terminal electrode body functioning as the cathode." should be understood as " the body of the last electrode functioning as the cathode."

Anode
In a discharging battery or galvanic cell (diagram at right) the anode is the negative terminal since that is where the current flows into the device (see drawing). This inward current is carried externally by electrons moving outwards, negative charge moving one way constituting positive current flowing the other way. It is continued internally by positive ions flowing into the electrolyte from the anode, i.e., away (surprisingly) from the more negative electrode and towards the more positive one (chemical energy is responsible for this "uphill" motion).
In a recharging battery, or an electrolytic cell, the anode is the positive terminal, which receives current from an external generator. The current through a recharging battery is opposite to the direction of current during discharge; In other words, the electrode which was the cathode during battery discharge becomes the anode while the battery is recharging.
