Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Greek words 'pan' meaning 'all' and 'horama' meaning 'sight' or 'view', coined in the late 18th century by Irish painter Robert Barker to describe his wide-angle paintings. Over time, the term evolved from physical cylindrical paintings to describe any wide, unobstructed view of a landscape or a comprehensive survey of a subject.
