Etymology
The word episcope comes from Greek parts epi- meaning 'on' or 'upon' and -scope meaning 'to look', the same scope you see in microscope and telescope. So an episcope is basically a 'looking-on' tool that views objects and projects their image onto a screen, which explains its use for showing coins or book pages to a class.
