Android

"Most people have forgotten that 'droid' is short for 'android,' meaning manlike."

- Lando Calrissian

Androids were droids built to resemble humanoids.

The word droid was an abbreviation of the word android, but nevertheless, androids were categorized differently from droids. For instance, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Mon Julpa, who was disguised as an android, were referred to as "two droids and one android".
