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”)."
