The word "panorama" originates from Greek roots: "pan" meaning "all" and "horama" meaning" sight" or "view".  

According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the adjective "panoramic" was first used in English in 1796. This usage is attributed to G. Cumberland.  Although the term "panorama" was used by Irish artist Robert Barker to describe his large, immersive paintings. The first panorama, a painting of Edinburgh, was displayed in a specially built rotunda in 1791

Examples of "panoramic" used in a sentence:  
"How did you come to write such a panoramic book?" 
"At the end of the slope is a 
panoramic view of the Sea of Japan." 
"There's even a rooftop with panoramic views of the city. Give your calves a break and ride the panoramic cable car up to the top of town." 
"
At the far end of the main floor of Jonny's new home glowed a panoramic window fitted into the mountainside."
"Of the 240 rooms, many provide 
panoramic views across Oslo fjord."
"She'd been sleeping somewhat well beside the 
panoramic window when purple light lit up the foyer."
"She readied herself for a fight, making certain none of them had orders to jump her yet, and then continued to the 
panoramic window."
