Many Words in the English language come to us from Latin or Ancient Greek. "Photo" is derived from Greek - the Greek Word "phos" means "light." The Word "graph" also comes from a Greek Word meaning "to draw." A Photograph is therefore a drawing made with light. We often shortern the Word "photograph" to "photo." The latin Word for "light" is "lux."
