Etymology

The term 'pointillize' originated from the French word 'pointiller,' meaning 'to mark with points.' The technique of pointillism was developed by artists such as Georges Seurat in the 19th century, where small dots of color were used to create a cohesive image. Over time, the term has been adapted into digital image processing to describe a similar technique of creating images through small dots of color.
