Shows or presentations of films, or processes of testing and examining people or things to identify problems.
From 'screen' (Middle English from Old French 'escren'), originally meaning 'to shelter' or 'conceal'. The meaning expanded to include filtering, displaying, and examining through various types of screens.
The word beautifully captures how screens both reveal and conceal! Movie screenings show us films while medical screenings reveal hidden health issues, both using the metaphor of something that can either block or display information.
