Maybe the word "(engines)" is just there to indicate that this word is not
related to {tuH} "maneuver (military term)". Bracketed words in the
definitions in TKD often served as disambiguators between the multiple
possible readings of the English definitions. In other words, maybe
"(engines)" just means this word is used with vehicles, as opposed to (say)
armies or fleets or people.
