Etymology
Uniprocessor puts together uni- meaning 'one' (as in unicycle) and processor, from 'process' meaning 'to do work', so it gives the image of 'one worker doing all the work'. As a noun, a uniprocessor is a computer system that has only one central processing unit, so all tasks are handled by that single processor.
