† automan.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: English automata , automaton n.

Etymology: Inferred singular < automata, plural of automaton n., by analogy with Greek neuter nouns formed with the suffix -μα , whose plurals end in -ματα (compare also direct or indirect English borrowings from such Greek nouns, e.g. noema n., phantasma n., plasma n., etc., which follow the Greek plural form, and compare also -oma comb. form). Compare the similarly formed Italian automa (1745; compare †automati , plural noun (1589) and †automato (a1729)). Compare earlier autom n. and later automate n.

Obsolete.

= automaton n.
