In a word
Greek pan (all) + horama (view). Coined in 1789 by painter Barker for his 360° canvas. The pan family spreads 'all' — panorama (seeing all), pandemic (spreading to all people), pantheon (seat of all gods), panacea (cure for all ills). The moment you sweep your eye across a city from a hilltop — pan still runs unbroken from Greek to English.
Examples
A panorama of mountains opened before us.
The hilltop offers a panorama of the city.
The report gave a panorama of recent events.
