Atom
Like many English words it is Greek in origin. Atom is derived from the word in Greek which means indivisible. Mole is another Greek word used in science meaning small pile.Early scientists were self educated in science, they often pursued science as an absorbing hobby. They were usually wealthy, male and classically educated, therefore, they tended to use their knowledge of Greek or Latin to invent terms to name what they discovered etc. The word "scientist" was not coined until the end of the 19th century.Girls were not as often sent to school so they were usually in the background. They had to assist their father or husband if they were interested in science. Girls were discouraged from going to university or studying science or even medicine even in the middle of the 20th century.
These philosophers were Leukippus and his disciple Democritus.
Hisname was Democritus, and he came up with the word "atom," which is Greek for indivisible.
