ANDROIDS
an·droid (an'droid')
adj.
Possessing human features.
The word derives from the Greek andr-, " meaning "man, male", and the suffix -eides, used
to mean "of the species; alike" (from eidos "species"). The term was coined by the French
Villiers in his novel L'Ève future.[1] The word droid, a robot in the Star Wars universe,
is derived from this meaning. Thus far, androids have remained within the domain of science
fiction, frequently in film and television. However, some humanoid robots now exist.
