[Shotimes] Its called an Engine

[Ron Nottingham]

Motor is derived from Middle English, motour, which means prime mover, from
Latin mtor, from mtus, past participle of movre, to move. Please reference
my last post.

> Besides in any foreign language that I looked up there is no equivalent
for the word "motor", but there is for "engine".....I am going to assume the
