Etymology

The term 'lamp' comes from the Latin word 'lampas', which means torch or lamp, and from the Greek word 'lampas' meaning light or torch. The usage of the word evolved over time, particularly during the Industrial Revolution when electric lamps began to replace traditional oil lamps. 'Lamped' as a verb form refers to the action associated with the application of light, indicating a transition in usage as technologies in lighting developed. As language continues to evolve with technological advances, the terms related to light and illumination have also changed, though the core meaning remains connected to providing light.
