What language is ROBOT from?

"ROBOT" itself is not a word from any specific language. It's a neologism, meaning a newly coined word.

It was created by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots).

The word "robot" is derived from the Czech word "robota", which means "forced labor" or "servitude". Čapek chose this word because his play explored the themes of artificial beings and the potential dangers of automation.
