The Greek Origins of the Word 'Android'

The word "android" comes from Greek roots. It is derived from:
"andr-" (ἀνήρ, andros) – meaning "man" or "male"
"-oid" (οειδής, -oeidēs) – meaning "having the form of" or "resembling"
So, "android" literally means "having the form of a man" or "man-like", which makes sense since androids are humanoid robots. The term has been in use since at least the early 18th century to describe mechanical beings resembling humans.
