Cyber ... urgh!!

When did Cyber move from a prefix to a noun? It's a horrible bastardisation of the original use of the word. Unfortunately now it's in regular use.

(I realise it's originally derived from Greek)

When I read or hear it used this way it grates... every... time.

On a side-note, I did actually study Cybernetics at Reading back in the day.
