Etymology
Auto-suggestion comes from the parts auto- meaning 'self' and suggestion meaning 'an idea offered', just like in automatic where 'auto-' means 'self'. In computing it means the system offers or completes words for you as you type, so the name shows that the device 'suggests' things automatically.
