Resembling or relating to an android; having human-like qualities while being artificial or mechanical.
From android (from Greek andros, man + -oid, resembling) combined with the suffix -al (relating to). Android itself was coined in the 19th century to describe artificial human-like beings.
The term 'android' gained enormous popularity after the 1968 film '2001: A Space Odyssey,' but it was already being used by sci-fi authors like Isaac Asimov decades earlier to explore what makes us human—questions we're still asking about AI today.
