Forms: 1800s autocinesis, 1800s– autokinesis.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Partly formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Greek αὐτοκίνησις ; auto- comb. form², -kinesis comb. form.

Etymology: Partly < Hellenistic Greek αὐτοκίνησις self-motion (see autokinesy n.), and partly < auto- comb. form² + -kinesis comb. form. In sense 3 after autokinetic adj. 2. Compare earlier autokinesy n., autokinetical adj.

1. Voluntary movement (of a muscle or the body). rare.

ΚΠ

1848 R. Dunglison Med. Lexicon (ed. 7) 96/1 Autocinesis, voluntary motion.

1994 T. Fukuda & T. Ueyama Cellular Robotics & Micro Robotic Syst. ii. 26 Our muscles behave with autokinesis, reflex, and intention.

2. Metaphysics. The self-generated or spontaneous motion of the soul; = self-motion n.

ΚΠ

1873 T. Lewis in A. Young Spirit & Mind Polarity 4 The metaphysical notion of soul is self-motion, self-energy, auto-kinesis.

1970 R. G. M. Nisbet & M. Hubbard Comm. Horace: Odes, Bk. 1 176 Many editors have seen a reference to the young Aristotle's πέμπτη οὐσία, a fifth, very pure element invoked to explain the autokinesis of the heavens and perhaps of the soul.

1996 D. A. Dombrowski Analytic Theism x. 95 Because there is no denial of autokinesis to the World-Soul, the definition of soul as self-motion in the Phaedrus and Laws X would seem to apply to the World-Soul as well as to other souls.

3. An optical illusion in which a small stationary object in a uniform background, esp. a light source in an otherwise dark field, appears to move. Cf. autokinetic adj. 2.The phenomenon was first noted by A. von Humboldt in 1799, when observing stars through a telescope.
