'mechanics-driven' originates from the combination of 'mechanics,' which comes from the Greek word 'mekhane,' meaning 'machine,' and 'driven,' from Old English 'drifan,' meaning 'to drive.'

'mechanics' evolved from the Greek 'mekhane' to the Latin 'mechanica,' and eventually became the modern English word 'mechanics.' 'Driven' evolved from Old English 'drifan' to the modern English 'driven.'

Initially, 'mechanics' referred to the study of machines, but over time it evolved to include the principles governing physical forces. 'Driven' has largely retained its original meaning of being propelled or motivated by something.
