As a noun, video is the recording or display of moving images, often with sound, like a movie or online clip. As an adjective, it relates to these moving pictures, such as in 'video game' or 'video call'.
From Latin 'video', meaning 'I see', the first-person form of 'videre' meaning 'to see'. It became a technical term in the 20th century for visual electronic recordings and broadcasts.
Every ‘video’ is literally an ‘I see’ turned into technology. The word reminds us that screens are extensions of our eyes, not just our ears like radio once was. It’s sight, captured and replayed on command.
