OP I remember how I learned this word, from an article in National Geographic in the twenties.
For exploration of deep sea bottom, a "bathysphere" was built, a metal hollow sphere perhaps
eight feet in diameter, with thick glass windows. But the first time it was tested, with no
one inside, the tremendous pressure burst one window inwards. This might even have been
the first time the word was used.
