Root Explanation

Anaglyph → It is formed from "ana-" (meaning up, back, or again) and "glyph" (from Greek "glyphein", meaning to carve or engrave). The word refers to a carved or engraved image that is viewed in a specific way, often to create a three-dimensional effect.

Memory Tip

Think of 'carving' ('glyph') something 'up' or 'back' ('ana-') to create a special visual effect — that's what an anaglyph does.
