Wow Fact: The Word “Robot” Originated From Czech Word for “Slave”

The word “robot” appeared in English in the 1920s, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary, based on the Czech word “robotnik,” which meant slave, and which itself was rooted in the Old Church Slavonic word for servitude, “rabota.”

That fact should be especially ironic once we reach singularity and the robots become our overlords.
