machine
Engine for work
A machine is a device with moving parts that performs work: a washing machine, a sewing machine, a machine that stamps metal.
The word extends to complex systems that function with mechanical efficiency: the political machine, the war machine.
A person who works tirelessly or without emotion may be called a machine: She's a machine—she never stops.
To machine something is to shape it with power tools: machined aluminum parts.
