'machine-powered' originates from the combination of 'machine' and 'powered', where 'machine' refers to a mechanical device and 'powered' indicates being supplied with energy or force.

The term 'machine-powered' evolved from the increasing use of machines in the industrial era, combining the concept of machinery with the ability to operate autonomously or with minimal human intervention.

Initially, it referred to any device operated by a machine, but over time it has come to imply advanced automation and efficiency.
