Pixel
pixel \ˈpik-səl\ noun: a single point in a digital raster image, often represented as a square in a two-dimensional grid
Etymology: pix (plural of pic) + el (from element)
The etymology for pixel may be unsurprising, but I still found it interesting since I’d never really paused to consider the word’s origin before.
