Etymology
'lenticular-printed' originates from modern English compounding of 'lenticular' + 'print/printed'; 'lenticular' ultimately comes from Latin 'lenticularis' (from 'lenticula'), where 'lenticula' meant 'a small lens or lentil (lens-shaped)', and 'print' comes from Middle English 'print(en)' from Old French (related to pressing), ultimately from Latin 'premere' meaning 'to press'.
'lenticular' passed into English via Medieval/Modern Latin 'lenticularis' (from Latin 'lenticula') and Late Middle English use; 'print' developed from Middle English 'print(en)' (Old French origin) meaning to produce an impression by pressing; the compound 'lenticular-printed' is a modern English formation combining the adjective describing lens-like effect with the past-participle of 'print'.
Initially, 'lenticular' meant 'lens-shaped' (from 'lenticula') and 'print' meant 'to press or make an impression'; over time, the combined modern expression came to mean 'produced by the lenticular printing process, producing shifting or 3-D visual effects.'
