Does robot literally mean orphan?

No. Robot descends immediately from Czech compulsory labor. Orphan belongs to a remote comparative family around transferred status, dependency, and bereavement; a distant root relationship is not a modern definition.

*orbota

Supplies the Slavic labor reconstruction.
