Here's the breakdown:
* Automobile comes from the Greek words "autos" (self) and "mobilis" (movable).
* Latin roots for "move" include:
* movere (to move)
* motus (motion)
* mobilis (movable)
While mobilis is present in "automobile", it's a Greek word that was borrowed into Latin. The term "automobile" itself was coined in the 19th century, combining the Greek words to describe a self-propelled vehicle.
