ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:

protoplasm (n.)

1848, from Ger. Protoplasma (1846), used by German botanist Hugo von Mohl (1805-72), from Gk. proto- "first" (see proto-) + plasma "something molded" (see -plasm). The word was in Late Latin meaning "first created thing," and may have existed in ecclesiastical Greek in a different sense. It was used 1839 by Czech physiologist Johannes Evangelista Purkinje (1787-1869) to denote the gelatinous fluid found in living tissue. This word prevailed, though German language purists preferred Urschleim "original mucus."

proto-

word-forming element meaning "first," from Gk. proto-, comb. form of protos "first," superlative of pro "before" (see pro-).

-plasm

word-forming element meaning "a growth, a development; something molded," from Gk. -plasma, from plasma "something molded or created" (see plasma).

plasma (n.)

1712, "form, shape" (earlier plasm, 1620), from L.L. plasma, from Gk. plasma "something molded or created," from plassein "to mold," originally "to spread thin," from PIE *plath-yein, from root *pele- "flat, to spread" (see plane (n.1)). Sense of "liquid part of blood" is from 1845; that of "ionized gas" is 1928.
