/ˈæɡrɪmoʊtər/ noun

Definition

A motor-powered agricultural machine or tractor designed for farming work, combining the words 'agriculture' and 'motor'.

Etymology

From Latin 'agricola' (farmer) combined with 'motor' (from Latin 'movere', to move). The term emerged in the early 20th century as mechanized farming developed and internal combustion engines were adapted for agricultural use.

Kelly Says

The agrimotor represents one of the most transformative inventions in human history—a single machine could replace dozens of farm workers and animals, fundamentally reshaping rural societies and enabling the 20th-century population boom.
