video

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

English

Etymology

    From the root vide of Latin videō (to see) + -o, formed in analogy to audio.

    Pronunciation

    Noun

    video (countable and uncountable, plural videos or (rare, humorous) videmus or (nonstandard) videoes)

    A VHS video casette
    1. (uncountable) Transient visual content or media, processed with technology, especially electronic.
      Early TV used film to record video.
      Which cable is for the video feed?
    2. (countable) A recording or medium of visual content, especially audiovisual content for playback; a motion picture, movie, film.
      Synonyms: clip, vid
      We edited a video montage of Robbie's first birthday.
      We used to make videos on tape recorders.
      Check out the videos I uploaded online.
    3. (dated) Television content or media.
    4. (dated) videotape, VHS.

    Usage notes

    • Video is used in contrast with audio, which is sound only. It is also sometimes used in contrast with film to describe all other motion picture formats, such as videotape and digital video. The words video and movie have some synonymous overlap, but a feature film on the big screen is only a movie in idiomatic use (not a video), and web-era user-created videos are usually not called movies except in certain contexts.
    • The plural videmus is rare and used for humorous effect. It is the first-person plural form of the Latin verb ("we see") in the same way that videō is the singular.

      Latin

      Etymology

        From Proto-Italic *widēō, itself from the root *weyd- (to know, see). The term may derive from a Proto-Indo-European stative *wid-éh₁-yeti (to see),[1] However, the LIV considers the term to be a more recent innovation.[2] The perfect form vīdī may reflect a Proto-Indo-European root aorist *wéydt, although it may also continue the root perfect *wóyde.[1]
