Etymology
Kappa-meson begins with kappa, the Greek letter 'k' used as a simple label, and ends with meson, from Greek mesos meaning 'middle'. Mesons were named for being 'in the middle' between lighter and heavier particles, so a kappa-meson is simply a meson that scientists have labeled with the letter kappa.
