atómico
/aˈtomiko/ · B2 · adj
atomic
⚛️ atómico = a- (not) + tomo (cut): the uncuttable particle, atomic
From Greek átomos, meaning uncuttable: a- (not) + temnein (to cut). Spanish átomo and átomico keep that sense. Link the a- prefix with tomo, as in anatomía, and you get atomic: relating to the smallest unit.
