haha, I had to laugh at this one.
I could picture how this work came to be: someone couldn't pernounce mobile correctly, and inorder to not feel stupid came up with the term motile.
There are alot of words that may seem pointless in the english dictionary. They just need to be utilized correctly.
That said, there are thousands of words that basically have the same meaning.
