The article on this page mentions
the word ‫( עוֵֹבד‬oved) worker,
employee. An oved is a person

the root of both these words: ‫ד‬-‫ב‬-‫ע‬.
Slaves are called ‫( ֲעָבִדים‬avadim)

a specific workplace - a ‫ַמְעָבָּדה‬
(ma'abada) laboratory.

human work, rather than a product
of nature, is called ‫( ְמעוָּבּד‬me'ubad)
processed.

tamlilim) word processor because
it works with words.
