Root Explanation

Panoramic → It is formed from "pan-" (meaning all) and "horama" (from Greek, meaning view). The word "panoramic" describes a view that encompasses all around or a wide view.

Memory Tip

Think of 'all' ('pan-') being visible in a 'view' ('horama') — that's why panoramic means a wide or all-encompassing view.
