phantasmagorian.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an element of uncertain origin; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Greek ϕάντασμα, an element of uncertain origin.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ϕάντασμα phantasm n. + a second element of uncertain origin (see note below), after French fantasmagorie (1799 as phantasmagorie; dated 1787 in O. Bloch and W. von Wartburg Dict. étymologique (ed. 3, 1960)). Compare German Phantasmagorie (1827 or earlier).The second element may be French -gorie (in allégorie allegory n.). A connection with ancient Greek ἀγορά assembly, place of assembly (see agora n.¹) has also been suggested. It is also possible that the inventor of the word only wanted an unusual, interesting-sounding term, and created -agoria without conscious reference to other terms. The phantasmagoria grew out of optical experiments made by its Belgian inventor E. G. Robertson during the 1780s. It was first presented in Paris in 1798 and later exhibited in London by P. de Philipstal in late 1801 and 1802.

a. An exhibition of optical illusions produced chiefly by the use of a magic lantern, first exhibited in London in 1801 (now historical); any optical exhibition, esp. one in which preternatural phenomena are represented using artificial light; an apparatus for creating such illusions.An entertainment called a fantasmagorie, featuring projections of figures which moved or changed shape rapidly (often accompanied by sound effects), was presented in Paris by Étienne-Gaspard Robertson in 1798. A similar ‘Phantasmagoria’ was presented in London in 1801 by Paul de Philipstal, a Parisian showman, and was widely imitated; such entertainments became very popular in England during the early 19th cent.
