"Atomos", which is the source of our word "atom".

The concept of atoms as indivisible particles was proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus around 400 BCE. He believed that everything in the universe was made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
An atomist is a believer in atomism, a person who believes matter is composed of elementary indivisible particles.
The particle theory of matter states that matter is made up of very small indivisible particles that are in constant motion.
Atomos is the name Democritus gave the smallest particles.
Aristotle believed that matter was continuous and infinitely divisible, in contrast to Democritus who proposed that matter was composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle's view prevailed until the development of modern atomic theory in the 19th century.
An atomician is another word for an atomist, a person who believes matter is composed of elementary indivisible particles.
