Word origin
The term 'sprite' originated from the word 'spirit' in the late 18th century, referring to a supernatural being or essence. In the context of computer graphics, the term was first used in the early days of video games to describe small, movable objects on the screen. Over time, it evolved to encompass any two-dimensional graphic element used in digital media.
