@maddiefuzz Hmm, it sounds like you're asking for a specific link but if you're asking in general, I know I've read that it comes from Czech for "servitude" or "repetitive work" and was coined in the early 1900s for a sci-fi book or smth?

@nytpu@tilde.zone Me doesn't have a link too, but I remembered that it was Czech author Karel Čapek and his book R.U.R.
