Who was the professor if I may ask? He may have been mine! Etymology is a very niche community at UGA!

etymology from the greek ἔτυμος for "true"

entomology from the greek ἔντομον for "insect", the tom actually is the same tom in atom.

This checks out:

- "The Greek word entomon, meaning “notched,” refers to the segmented body plan of the insect."

- "Etymology : From ἐν- (en-, “in”) +‎ τόμος (tómos, “slice”)."
