Plural form of android; multiple artificial beings designed to resemble humans.
Plural of android, from Greek andros (man) + -oid (resembling) + -es (plural marker). This form is less common in modern English but appears in classical texts and older scientific writings.
Medieval scholars and alchemists actually wrote about creating artificial humans called androides centuries before robotics existed—they imagined golem-like creatures and mechanical servants, showing humans have always dreamed of building helpers in our own image.
