==Etymology== The word's use in music journalism may be derived from a punning modification of "motoric", a term long used by music critics to describe relentless [[ostinato]] rhythm,<ref name="BottΓ 2020"/> or simply from a combination of "motor" and "music" (German: "musik").<ref>{{cite book |last=Buckley |first=David |year=2015 |title=Kraftwerk: Publikation |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JroSCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT86 |location=UK |publisher=[[Omnibus Press]] |page=86 |isbn=978-1-7832-3618-3}}</ref> In addition, Motorik is the German word for motor skills. The name may derive from the repetitive yet forward-flowing feel of the rhythm, which has been compared to the experience of driving on a [[Controlled-access highway|motorway]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/neu%21-mw0000004284 |last=Jurek |first=Thom |title=Neu! β Neu! |website=[[AllMusic]] |publisher=[[All Media Network]] |access-date=August 29, 2018}}</ref>
