The word "atom" comes from the two Greek affixes, a-tom; "a" is the privative affix meaning deprivation; "tom" comes from the Greek "temno" (Ï„Îμνω) 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.

The name atom comes from the Greek ἄτομος (atomos, = "indivisible")
from one prefix:
- ἄ- or ἀ- (a-, = "not")
and one verb:
- τέμνω (temnō, = "I cut")
which means uncuttable, or indivisible, something that cannot be divided further
(I can not cut).
