Etymology

The term 'lipreading' originated in the 19th century as a fusion of 'lip', referring to the outer edge of the mouth, and 'reading', which indicates the process of interpreting visible cues. Initially, the concept was associated with speech therapy and education for the deaf community. With advancements in understanding and technology during the 20th century, lipreading gained prominence as a skill, not only in educational settings but also in daily communication. The practice became vital during times when auditory communication methods were insufficient, leading to its formal acceptance in both social and professional interactions. Over the years, lipreading has evolved alongside assistive technologies, further enhancing its application and relevance in modern communication.
