OriginEarly 17th century: from French autographe or late Latin autographum, from Greek autographon, neuter of autographos 'written with one's own hand', from autos 'self' + graphos 'written'. photograph from mid 19th century: The original of this was French photographie ‘photography’, first recorded in 1834. The word was apparently introduced to English (along with photographic and photograph) by Sir John Herschel in a paper presented to the Royal Society on 14 March 1839. Both the French and English words were formed from Greek photo- ‘light’ (found in numerous other words) and graphē ‘writing, drawing’, as in autograph (mid 17th century), something written in one's own hand, from Greek auto ‘by oneself’ and seismograph (mid 19th century) combined with Greek seismos ‘earthquake’. As early as 1860 Queen Victoria was using the short form photo, writing in a letter about someone ‘waiting to know…about the photo’.
