Root Explanation

Stereoscopic → It is formed from "stereo-" (from Greek "stereos", meaning solid or three-dimensional) and "-scopic" (from Greek "skopein", meaning to look or to see). The word describes a method of seeing or viewing solid, three-dimensional images.

Memory Tip

Imagine looking at something 'solid' ('stereo-') and 'seeing' it clearly ('-scopic'). This helps you remember that stereoscopic relates to viewing three-dimensional images.
