Etymology
The word photodynamic comes from Greek parts photo- meaning 'light' and dynamic meaning 'power', the same photo- you see in photograph. So, photodynamic describes processes where light's energy causes chemical or biological changes, which is why it is used for treatments and reactions driven by light.
