Root Explanation

Anaglyphic → It is formed from "ana-" (meaning up, back, or again) and "glyph" (from Greek "glyphē", meaning carving or writing). The term refers to a method of creating a three-dimensional effect in images by using two superimposed images, which are viewed with colored glasses, thus giving the impression of depth or relief.

Memory Tip

Think of 'up' or 'back' ('ana-') combined with 'carving' or 'writing' ('glyph') to remember that 'anaglyphic' refers to images that create a three-dimensional effect.
