Etymology

The word 'mechanically' is derived from the word 'mechanical', which comes from the Latin word 'mechanicus', meaning 'pertaining to machines'. The concept of mechanics dates back to ancient times, with the study of the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements. Over time, the term 'mechanically' has evolved to describe actions or processes that mimic the precision and regularity of mechanical systems.
