Nüüdisaja ergonoomikale sarnased uuringud sagenesid järsult 40-50 aastat tagasi seoses Teise maailmasõjaga ning üleminekuga rahuaja tootmisele. Seda suunda nimetati biotehnoloogiaks. Tekkis probleem piiritleda uut rakendusteadust. Tänapäeval tähendab biotehnoloogia hoopis elusorganismidele omastele protsessidele põhinevat tehnoloogiat. Termin ergonoomika on koostatud inglise uurija F. K. H. Murrelli poolt 1949. a. (vt The Oxford ..., 1991, Webster´s Encyclopedic Unabridged ..., 1996) kreeka ja inglise keele sõnadest ja economics, mis vastavalt tähendavad "töö" ja "ökonoomika".

It is a source of valuable information and if it is used correctly, the dictionary will serve as a useful tool toward your goal of English fluency.

War I codenames—but never so frequently. They aimed both at security and brevity: obviously it was easier to say "Operation TORCH" than "the Anglo-American invasion of North Africa," and solvers of any messages would still have to determine the meaning of the code-names. Selection and assignment of the codenames was, in the United States, a duty of the Current Section of the Army's Operations Division. Men of the unit culled the unabridged dictionaries for suitable words—chiefly common nouns and adjectives that did not imply operations or localities. They avoided, as confusing, personal and ships' names and geographical terms. Of the dictionaries' 400,000 words, they compiled about 10,000 in scrambled order in a classified book. They cross-checked these to eliminate any conflicts with British codenames. Then they assigned blocks of codenames to theater commanders.
