Etymology
'anaglyphic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anaglyphos,' where 'ana-' meant 'up' or 'again' and 'glyphein' meant 'to carve.'
'anaglyphic' changed from the Greek word 'anaglyphikos' and eventually became the modern English word 'anaglyphic.'
Initially, it meant 'carved in relief,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to stereoscopic 3D images.'
