Etymology

The term 'scenography' originated from the Greek words 'skḗnē' (meaning stage or scene) and 'graphein' (meaning to write or to describe). It has been used in the context of theatre and performance design since the 19th century, evolving to encompass a wide range of visual elements in stage productions.
