Answer

Many words in the English language come to us from Latin or Ancient Greek.

"Photo" is derived from Greek - the Greek word "phos" means "light."

The word "graph" also comes from a Greek word meaning "to draw."

A Photograph is therefore a drawing made with light.

We often shortern the word "photograph" to "photo."

The latin word for "light" is "lux."
