The prompt asks you to look up the term on dictionary.com and provide the word-by-word translation. Here, the phrasing to translate is given as: 'god from a machine' and the instruction notes that you must scroll to the origin to find etymology.

First, note the elements of the phrase 'deus ex machina' by linguistic breakdown: 'deus' is Latin for 'god,' 'ex' means 'from' or 'out of,' and 'machina' means 'machine.' When combined, they form a classic Latin idiom used in modern literature and drama.

Because the provided setup lacks a list of multiple answer options to evaluate, there are no alternative choices to compare against the given translation or to assess for plausibility. In situations where options are present, one would systematically weigh each option, identifying correct linguistic components and dismissing distractors that misinterpret the grammar, order, or semantic scope of the term.

Given the explicit word-by-word construction presented, the most direct, literal rendering is: 'god' (deus) + 'from' (ex) + 'machine' (machina). This aligns with the typical etymological path described in reference sources. However, since there are no alternative choices supplied to critique, the analysis focuses on validating the components of the translation rather than comparing multiple candidates.

If you were to encounter additional options, you would examine each option for adherence to the Latin roots: ensuring 'deus' is identified as 'god,' 'ex' as the preposition meaning 'from/out of,' and 'machina' as 'machine,' and you would reject any option that mismatches these roots or misinterprets the structure (for example, confusing 'ex machina' with a different grammatical case or misplacing the elements).
