Etymology
Uut was the temporary symbol for element 113, taken from the temporary name ununtrium, which was made from the parts un- and tri- meaning 'one' and 'three' to show its number 113. So Uut was just a short form of that number-name before the element got its official name nihonium, with the symbol 'Nh'.
