I was looking for a way to say "automated by machine." The word for machine is the interlocking gear thing. And using the gear thing implies automation. I can say the same thing by snapping my fingers. Snapping fingers can be a lot of things, I use it for "go" for "fast" for anything snappy, like "automatic." But this is what the dictionaries offer for "automatic" and I do see them all. You just have to pick one depending on what your atomization looks like, I suppose. These are all American.
Most other countries offer their version for this word here , the word must be entered for the flags to appear. Variations show something mechanically automated.
I'm seeing 75% of them reference two handed meshed gears, also pistons, pulling a cord, Japan uses our word for "hurry," a stamp puncher, whirling gear instead of meshed gears, back and forth thumbs like locomotion bar that connects wheels, and our word for "hard."
Where does this leave us? Do whatever you want.
