Origin: Formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: automobile n.

Etymology: < -mobile (in automobile n.). Compare French -mobile in hippomobile (1896 as noun, 1897 as adjective: compare hippomobile n. and adj.), locomobile (1805 as adjective, 1840 as noun: compare locomobile adj.).The earliest English formations are electromobile n., pushmobile n., and snowmobile n.

In a few cases the first element denotes the person or type of person using the vehicle, e.g. pimpmobile n.
