Etymology
'stereoscopic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'stereos,' where 'stereos' meant 'solid' and 'skopein' meant 'to look or see.'
'stereos' combined with 'skopein' in Greek, and eventually became the modern English word 'stereoscopic.'
Initially, it meant 'to see solid objects,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to three-dimensional vision.'
