Origin

Mid 16th century (denoting a circle of light round the sun etc.): from medieval Latin, from Latin halos, from Greek halōs 'disc of the sun or moon'.

This was originally a circle of light such as that around the sun; it came via medieval Latin from Greek halōs which referred to the ‘disc of the sun or moon’. From around the middle of the 17th century, the word came to be applied to the circle of light depicted around Christ's head or those of the saints. Its use for an effect in photography is found from the 1940s.
