Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from 'Photoshop', the trademarked name of Adobe's premier image editing software introduced in 1990, combining 'photo' (from Greek phōs, meaning light) and 'shop' (a place of work). The gerund/noun form emerged in the late 1990s as the software became a cultural phenomenon, quickly genericizing to describe digital image manipulation of any kind.
