The word "Dime" derives from Latin decima (pars), meaning "a tenth."
The denomination was briefly called a "disme" (DEEM or sometimes DIZ-meh) which was an anglicized version of the French word "dixième" (deez-YEM), again deriving from the Latin decima.Its spelling and pronunciation quickly simplified to the familiar "dime" within a year or two of the coin's introduction.
Interestingly the dime is the only current US coin whose denomination isn't given in dollars or cents. It's a holdover from one of the early proposals for coin denominations based on factors of 10. A "mill" (or mil) was to be the smallest denomination with other denominations being the cent, dime, dollar, eagle, and union; each is worth 10 of the next lower coin.
Unions were never struck, and while gold coins were in fact denominated in eagles their values were still expressed in dollars. The last eagles were struck in 1933, so today only the dime survives as a vestige of that early plan.
