Word origin

The word 'strobe' originated in the early 20th century as a shortening of the word 'stroboscope.' A stroboscope is an instrument that makes a cyclically moving object appear to be slow-moving or stationary by illuminating it at intervals. The term 'strobe' gained popularity in photography and lighting industries due to its association with rapid flashes of light.
