Atom is a Greek word.
It is a composite from the prefix a- (meaning no) and tome (meaning a cut), because Ancient Greeks believed that the atom was the smallest particle of matter, the one that couldn't be cut any further (they hadn't discovered sub atomic particles back then).
In ancient Greek it was written άτομον (pronouned at-oh-monn).
In modern Greek it's the same, just without the final -n.

Atoms
The word "atom" comes from the Greek word "atomos," which means "indivisible." The concept of atoms as fundamental building blocks of matter dates back to ancient Greek philosophers such as Democritus and Leucippus.
The word "atomos" comes from ancient Greek. It is derived from "a-" (not) and "tomos" (cut, divisible), reflecting the idea that atoms are indivisible and cannot be cut into smaller parts.
The Greek and Latin root word "ion" means "going" or "one who goes." It is commonly used in scientific terms related to charged particles or atoms.
The root of the word atom comes from the Greek word "atomos," meaning indivisible. However, atoms are not actually indivisible; they can be broken down into subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons. This root is misleading because atoms are not the smallest particles and can be divided further.
Hisname was Democritus, and he came up with the word "atom," which is Greek for indivisible.
