Originally from the
theatre
. A backdrop is a painted cloth in front of which the
actor
s
perform
.Now a backdrop is taken less literally to mean the
background
or
setting
to many things. For example a
political
backdrop is the history of a topic in front of which a current affair is played out. "Shares were a touch firmer in opening trade on Tuesday, despite the cloudy backdrop provided by global markets. " (from BBC news online.)A backdrop can also used to describe the
background
picture displayed on a computer
desktop
.
