Etymology: < atomic adj. + mass n.2

The average mass of an atom of an element, expressed by comparison to a standard atom (formerly one of hydrogen or oxygen, now one of the isotope carbon-12: cf. atomic mass unit n. at Compounds). Also: the corresponding mass for a particular isotope, usually rounded to the nearest whole number (the mass number: see mass number n. at mass n.2 Compounds 2). Cf. atomic weight n.
