Etymology of NUCLEOL

The word "nucleolus" is derived from the Latin word "nucleus" which means "kernel" or "little nut". The diminutive suffix "-olus" was added to "nucleus" to indicate a small or diminutive version. So, "nucleolus" can be translated as "little nucleus" or "small kernel". The term was coined in the early 19th century to describe the small spherical structure found within the nucleus of a cell.
