I'm so sorry. I guess that after my question i will not be allowed on this site anymore. Here it goes. What does actually word 'nanite' mean. English is not my natural, and I simply do not know. Well i know, but not exactly. Please do not laugh and help.

I dont believe "Nanite" actually means anything, but the word "Nano" is a way of measuring size.. it's microscopic.
-I think, please correct me otherwise-

Well, I'm pretty sure that this word actually exists. I know what are nanites for (thats obvious), I only do not know the small things about this topic. Well, for start, i never heard word nanites in ST. There has always been word 'nanoprobes' in use - .I don't know if it is the same. In "I -Robot" (by the way great movie ) there are nanites - used to kill AI", but is it the same as nanoprobes from B2 (and ST in general)?
