Etymology
The word 'molecular' originated from the Latin word 'molecula', which means a small mass. It was first used in the early 19th century to describe the smallest particle of a substance that retains the chemical properties of that substance. The field of molecular science has since evolved to encompass a wide range of disciplines, from chemistry to biology, all studying the properties and interactions of molecules.
See also: macromolecule, molecularly.
