Root Explanation

Stereoscopy → It is formed from "stereo-" (from Greek "stereos", meaning solid or three-dimensional) and "-scopy" (from Greek "skopein", meaning to look or to examine). The word refers to the technique of looking at images in three dimensions, creating a solid perception of depth.

Memory Tip

Imagine looking at images that give you a 'solid' ('stereo-') view, as if you are 'examining' ('-scopy') them in three dimensions.
