Showing a very wide view or scene; relating to a complete view of a wide area or subject.
From 'panorama,' which comes from Greek 'pan' (all) and 'horama' (view). The word was coined in the 18th century for special rotating paintings.
The first panoramic paintings were literally circular galleries where viewers stood in the center surrounded by a 360-degree scene—they were the virtual reality of the 1700s!
