Etymology

The French noun **mécanique** derives from Old French *mecaneque*, ultimately from Latin *mechanicus*, which was borrowed from Greek *μηχανικός* (mēkhanikós), “pertaining to a machine.” The Greek root *μηχανή* (mēkhanē) means “machine, device,” reflecting the word’s original sense of the art of constructing and operating machinery. It entered modern French in the 18th‑19th centuries to designate the branch of physics that studies the motion of bodies.
