The word particle can be used to describe a speck of dust, molecule, an atom or an electron. How can we avoid confusion in using the word particle?

To avoid confusion in using the word "particle," one must state that a particle is an identifiable part of dust, a molecule, an atom, or an electron.  This means that particles form these elements.
