Definition
Portable electronic devices that combine a video camera and videotape recorder in one unit. They allow users to record and play back video footage.
Etymology
A portmanteau word combining 'camera' and 'recorder', coined in the 1980s when Sony and other companies merged these functions into single handheld devices. Represents the technological convergence of image capture and storage.
Kelly Says
This word perfectly captures 1980s innovation - the breathless excitement of combining two technologies into one portable device. It's a linguistic snapshot of the moment when home video recording became democratized and portable.
