examining solids with rays
Etymology
'actinostereoscopy' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'aktinos' meaning 'ray' and 'stereos' meaning 'solid', combined with 'skopein' meaning 'to look or examine'.
'aktinos' and 'stereos' combined with 'skopein' in Greek, eventually forming the modern English word 'actinostereoscopy'.
Initially, it meant 'to examine solids using rays', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
