The emitter of a transistor was placed a micrometer distance between two, so it was called a microprocessor. Technology advanced, and the distance was improved to nano meter. Still, they call it micro.

microprocessor
microcomputer
They're called as such because of the size of the transistors they contain which is in micrometer dimensions .The first microprocessor is INTEL4004 (1971) .As it was too small in compare to other processors at that time so they called that processor as microprocessor
Microprocessor is the so called Brain of the computer.
The BIOS function in the 8086 microprocessor is called an interrupt function. It is an interrupt function because it is not called by a function call instruction.
Instruction Set
chips
ALU
the bus through which the data are transmitted or received within microprocessor and with peripherals is called as data bus.when used internally to microprocessor called internal data bus.
The data bus.
The communication between input and output device is called interfacing.
