The word originally just means an empty space surrounded by some kind of membrane or structure. You can have a prison cell, a computer cell, or a biological cell and several others.
As a matter of curiosity, biological cells were called cells eventhough they aren't empty, because when they were first seen under the microscope back a few hundred years ago, they were thought to be empty "air bags" in the body!
Cheers!

Based on the classification of the question:
A cell is described to be a unit of life --> it is not the smallest. Bacteria is smaller.
It consists of protoplasm (living matter), in which many other organelles (parts of a cell), function for its well-being and survival.
