Etymology
Greek borrowed "ρομπότ" directly from English "robot" in the twentieth century, unchanged in form. English took the word from Czech "robot," coined by the writer Karel Čapek for his 1920 play R.U.R. The Czech word derives from "robota," meaning forced labor or drudgery, a term rooted in the feudal system of unpaid work owed to a lord.
