motors
Machines producing movement
Motors are machines that convert energy into mechanical motion—electric motors, combustion motors, outboard motors.
The word overlaps with engine, though motors typically emphasize the motion-producing mechanism itself.
To motor is to travel by car: We motored down the coast.
In British English, motor as an adjective relates to cars: motor insurance, motor racing.
