A panorama is a wide, unbroken view of an area, usually seen from a high place. It can also mean a complete or broad presentation of a subject.
From Greek 'pan' meaning 'all' and 'horama' meaning 'view' or 'sight'. The word was first used in the 18th century for large circular paintings that surrounded viewers.
A panorama was originally a kind of 18th-century virtual reality: giant wraparound paintings that tried to show 'the whole view'. Before screens and headsets, people literally built huge rooms to immerse you in a scene.
