Scottish engineer, d. 1819 (4)

I believe the answer is:

watt

(Other definitions for watt that I've seen before include "Unit of electric power" , "James -; Sc. engineer" , "Man of note" , "James - - (Scottish inventor)" , "Unit of power - Scottish inventor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
