isn't a real word, and was created by George Lucas. I first discovered this when writing a Star Wars fanfic, the spellcheck underlined droid. I looked it up at dictionary.com and found this: http://www.bungie.net/SlideShow.aspx?Path=/games/Halo2&Sl ideshow=Re nders&Slide=31

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Nope. I made up the word Droid. Mr. McLucas payed me 500g's for it, biotch!

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Actually, the word droid comes from the word Android which was used by scientists and sci-fi writers well before Star Wars was even thought of.
