Morphology
automotive = motive (semi-transparent) = auto + mot
The word is built from auto- ('self') + motive ('moving'), but the modern sense 'relating to cars' is a specialized extension rather than a fully literal composition.
Etymology
The word automotive combines auto- and motive, where auto- means 'self', as in automatic or the short word auto for a car, and motive is like 'move'. So automotive originally means 'self-moving', which is why it describes cars and the car industry.
