Etymology
Gearmotor is formed from the common words gear and motor, where gear means a 'toothed wheel' or device that changes speed and force, and motor means a 'machine that makes things move'. So a gearmotor is simply a motor with gears that lower the output 'speed' and give more 'turning force', which explains why it is used to increase power and control movement.
