Etymology

The term 'mechanically' is derived from the word 'mechanical', which comes from the Latin word 'mechanicus', meaning 'of machines'. The concept of performing tasks in a mechanical manner has been around since the Industrial Revolution, when machines began to take over many manual tasks. Today, the term is often used to describe actions that are done without much thought or creativity, resembling the precision and repetition of a machine.
