Etymology
جسيم comes from the Arabic root ج-س-م, tied to جسم (jism), meaning body. The pattern added to the root gives the sense of a small or discrete body, which is how modern scientific Arabic uses the word for a physical particle. This mirrors how English took the Latin word corpus, body, and added a diminutive ending to form corpuscle.
