Crossword Genius

Very smallest part of anatomy? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atom

'very smallest part' is the definition.

'of anatomy?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ATOM' can be found hidden inside 'anatomy'.

(Other definitions for atom that I've seen before include "A mighty physical particle or bomb" , "A mighty particle, can be explosive" , "tiny thing" , "A small but mighty particle" , "Particle; molecule" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
