Panopticon pan-op'ti-kon, n (Greek, pan- all and optikon for seeing)

A prison where all inmates can be watched from one point; an exhibition room. The panopticon was an idea of Jeremy Bentham (vgl. wikipedia). If a single guard post is erected in the middle of a circular prison, all cells can be seen from that point. Unfortunately, the idea never caught on, though the word was used to apply to a royal exhibition in London roughly organized on such a scheme.
