Morphology
electromechanical = mechanical (semi-transparent) = electro + mechan + ical
The word is formed transparently by adding electro- to mechanical to describe a combination of electrical and mechanical properties.
Etymology
The word electromechanical comes from two parts: electro- meaning 'electric' and mechanical meaning 'machine' or 'movement'. Think of an electric motor where electricity makes parts move, so an electromechanical device is one where electric and machine parts work together to do a job.
