The word (phōs) means light and the word (graphé) means drawing something or lines, etc.

Explanation:

  • The word 'photography" has Greek roots and it arose from two ancient words Photo and Graphos.
  • The word was coined in 1826 when the first photograph was created by Niepce, France.
  • He was experimenting to create printing plates by printing pictures on them without engraving.
