Morphology

servomechanical = servo + mechanical (transparent) = servo + mechanical

Formed by combining 'servo' and 'mechanical'; the meaning is directly 'mechanical' in relation to servo (feedback-controlled) systems.

Etymology

Servomechanical combines servo- (from a word like service meaning 'to serve' or 'help') and mechanical meaning 'machine' or 'using machines'. So a servomechanical device is like a 'serving machine' that watches its own movement and corrects itself, which is why it is controlled automatically and stays accurate.
