Derived from Modern Latin, formed from the Greek prefix 'an-' (meaning 'without' or 'not') combined with 'opsis' (meaning 'sight' or 'vision') and the medical noun suffix '-ia'. It emerged in late 19th-century medical terminology to precisely classify specific visual field defects and blindness disorders.
