Formed by the productive adjective suffix '-ic' from the noun 'anaglyph', meaning 'relating to anaglyphs'; the relation is direct.

Etymology

Anaglyphic comes from the Greek parts ana- ('up' or 'again') and glyph ('carving' or 'mark'), the same glyph you see in the word hieroglyph. So an anaglyphic image is like two 'carved' pictures layered to create depth, which is why it looks 3D when seen with special two-color glasses.
