Mekanisk

Mekanisk is an adjective used in Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish to describe things relating to machines, mechanisms, and the science of mechanics. It is commonly applied to devices, systems, and processes that operate through moving parts and physical forces, and it can be used in everyday language as well as technical terminology.

Etymology and scope: the word derives from Latin mechanicus, from Greek mechane, meaning device or machine.

Fields and concepts: in science and engineering, mekanisk relates to mechanics—the study of motion, forces, and

Applications and examples: the word is used to describe engines, gears, bearings, transmissions, and other components

Overall, mekanisk denotes the realm of machines and mechanisms, spanning theoretical mechanics to practical machine design
