Prokaryotes (from Old Greek pro- before + karyon nut or kernel, referring to the
cell nucleus, + suffix -otos, pl. -otes; also spelled "procaryotes") are
organisms without a
cell nucleus (= karyon), or indeed any other membrane-bound
organelles, ...

unicellular (in rare cases, multicellular)
organisms without a

prokaryote comes from the Greek pros meaning before and karyon meaning nut, referring to the
nucleus.
