Etymology

a- +‎ bombe, first part is the first letter of the word atom (atom), from Ancient Greek ἄτομος (átomos, indivisible, uncut, undivided), both from ἀ- (a-, not, without), from Proto-Hellenic *ə- (un-, not; without, lacking), from Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (not, un-) + and from τέμνω (témnō, I cut, hew, wound, butcher), from Proto-Indo-European *tm̥-n-h₁-, from *temh₁- (to cut). Last part from French bombe (bomb, aerosol), from Italian bomba (bomb), from Latin bombus (a buzz or humming sound), from Ancient Greek βόμβος (bómbos, any deep, hollow sound, humming, buzzing, booming, rumbling), imitative of the sound itself.
