Etymology

The word 'perspective' originated from the Latin word 'perspectivus', which means 'clearly perceived'. The concept of perspective in art developed during the Renaissance, with artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Filippo Brunelleschi exploring techniques to create realistic depth and space on flat surfaces. In psychology, the term 'perspective' gained significance in the 20th century with the rise of cognitive psychology and the study of perception. Today, 'perspective' is widely used in various fields to denote viewpoints, attitudes, and visual representations.
