'anaglypta' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anaglyptos,' where 'ana-' meant 'up' or 'again' and 'glyphein' meant 'to carve.'

'anaglypta' was coined in the late 19th century as a trademark for a specific type of embossed wallpaper, derived from the Greek word 'anaglyptos.'

Initially, it referred to anything carved in relief, but over time it became the name for a specific type of embossed wallpaper.
