Root Explanation

Atomically → It is formed from "atom" (from Greek "atomos", meaning indivisible) and the suffix "-ically" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "atomically" refers to something that relates to or is in the manner of atoms, often in the context of atomic structure or behavior.

Memory Tip

Think of 'indivisible' ('atomos') to remember that 'atomically' means relating to the smallest units of matter.
