(ChatGPT)

1. Exoskeleton:

   • Origin: "Exo-" originates from the Greek word "exō," meaning "outside" or "external," while "skeleton" is derived from the Greek word "skeletos," which means "dried up" or "to make hard."
   • Breakdown: "Exo-" as a prefix denotes something external, and "skeleton" refers to the structural framework of the body.

2. Myoelectric:

   • Origin: "Myo-" comes from the Greek "mys," meaning "muscle," and "electric" is derived from the Latin "electricus," referring to electricity or electrical phenomena.
   • Breakdown: "Myo-" indicates a connection to muscles, while "electric" refers to electrical properties or phenomena.

3. Sensors:

   • Origin: The term "sensor" originates from the Latin word "sentire," meaning "to feel" or "perceive."
   • Breakdown: "Sensor" refers to devices capable of detecting or perceiving physical stimuli or inputs.

4. Hydraulic:

   • Origin: "Hydrau-" comes from the Greek "hydraulikos," which means "water organ" or "hydraulic." The term is linked to water and "hydor," which means "water" in Greek.
   • Breakdown: "Hydraulic" refers to systems or mechanisms powered by liquids, especially water.

5. Cylinder:

   • Origin: "Cylinder" comes from the Latin word "cylindrus," which originated from the Greek word "kulindros," referring to a roller or cylinder.
   • Breakdown: The term "cylinder" denotes a geometric shape that's shaped like a tube or roller.

6. Prosthesis:

   • Origin: "Prosthesis" is derived from the Greek word "prosthesis," meaning "an addition" or "attachment."
   • Breakdown: "Prosthesis" refers to an artificial device that serves as an addition or replacement for a missing body part.

7. Rehabilitation:

   • Origin: "Rehabilitation" has its roots in the Latin word "rehabilitare," which means "to restore to a former capacity or position."
   • Breakdown: "Rehabilitation" involves treatments and therapies aimed at restoring previous capabilities or functions.

8. Paralysis:

   • Origin: "Paralysis" originates from the Greek word "paralusis," which means "loosening" or "disabling."
   • Breakdown: "Paralysis" signifies the loss of muscle function or movement due to injury or disease.

9. Spinal cord:

   • Origin: "Spinal" is derived from the Latin word "spina," meaning "spine," while "cord" originates from the Latin "chorda," which means "string" or "cord."
   • Breakdown: "Spinal cord" refers to the bundle of nerves running through the spine that transmits signals.

10. Neural:

• Origin: "Neural" is derived from the Greek word "neuron," which means "nerve."
• Breakdown: "Neural" relates to nerves or the nervous system.
