Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Coined from the combination of the adjective 'molecular' (derived from New Latin 'molecula', a diminutive of moles meaning 'mass') and 'nanotechnology' (derived from the Greek 'nanos' meaning dwarf, combined with technology). The term emerged in the late 20th century, notably popularized by pioneer K. Eric Drexler in the 1980s to describe engineered mechanical systems operating at the molecular scale.
