In Greek, the word for insect is "έντομο" (entomo), which is derived from the word "έντομος" (entomos), meaning "cut into pieces" or "segmented." This reflects the distinctive segmented body structure that characterizes insects. The term highlights the biological classification and features that define this diverse group of arthropods.
