Word origin
The word 'automatically' originated in the late 19th century from the word 'automatic,' which comes from the Greek word 'automatos' meaning 'self-moving.' The concept of automation and mechanization led to the development of the adverb 'automatically' to describe actions done without human intervention. Over time, it has become a common term in technology, engineering, and everyday language to describe processes that occur spontaneously or without conscious effort.
