'anaglyphics' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anaglyphē,' where 'ana-' meant 'up' and 'glyphein' meant 'to carve.'

'anaglyphē' transformed into the Late Latin word 'anaglyphus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'anaglyphic' and its plural 'anaglyphics.'

Initially, it meant 'something carved in relief,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'writing or inscription in relief, especially in reference to ancient scripts.'
