And we owe the word "robot" to Karel Čapek (AFAIK). "Rabota" - means work in Bulgarian, and I guess similar in many other slavic languages.

FYI, the robot and rabota are pretty close due to ‘robota’ meaning work in old Czech.

this is exactly how it was invented.

Also - "robot" was not invented Karel Čapek but his brother Josef. Karel was looking for good word describing mechanical workers for his theatre play called RUR.
