Etymology
Epidiascope is made of three parts: epi- meaning 'on' or 'upon', dia- meaning 'through', and -scope meaning 'to look', the same ending as in telescope and microscope. So an epidiascope is a 'looking' device that can show images both 'on' solid objects and 'through' transparent slides, which explains why it can project both kinds of images.
