Answer:

Greek ektos meaning "outside", and derma meaning "skin".

Step-by-step explanation:

The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers formed in early embryonic development. It is the outermost layer, and is superficial to the mesoderm (the middle layer) and endoderm (the innermost layer). ... The word ectoderm comes from the Greek ektos meaning "outside", and derma meaning "skin".
