The word "atom" comes from theLatin root "tomos" meaning cut, with the prefix "a" meaning not, this comes from the ancient Roman Democritus who thought that all matter was composed of indivisible units. Thus "atomos" or atoms. Hope that's what you meant :)
This is absurd. Use anything, for example, Google or answers.com and get it right. "tomos" and "Democritus" are all Greek. Your answer is correct, but it's all Greek not Roman. Does it make any difference to you, Greeks from Romans?
The word "atom" comes from the two Greek affixes, a-tom; "a" is the privative affix meaning deprivation; "tom" comes from the Greek "temno" (τέμνω) meaning "slit", "slash", "cut". Therefore, atom means the "non-slit" (further).
Another example for the affix "tom" is the Greek word "tomos" (τόμος) which also comes from the aforementioned affix "tom" and means "volume" (of a book) exactly because the volume of a book is slit in its pages.
