atomization

/ˌæɾəmᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act or an instance of atomizing.

Word Origin Atomization comes from 'atom,' which literally means 'uncuttable' — from Greek 'a-' (not) and 'temnein' (to cut). Ancient philosophers thought atoms were indivisible. But atomization is the process of breaking something into atoms or fine particles, ironically cutting the uncuttable. The -ize makes it a verb, and -ation a noun. Related words include atom, atomic, atomize, anatomy (cutting up), and epitome (a summary, from 'cutting short').
