video
English
Etymology
From the root vide of Latin videō (“I see”) + -o, formed in analogy to audio.
Pronunciation
Noun
video (countable and uncountable, plural videos)
A VHS video casette
- Television, television show, movie.
- A short film clip, with or without audio (as in a music video, or one of the plethora of user-generated short movies on sites such as YouTube).
- Motion picture stored on VHS or some other format.
- (dated) 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 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 video is the singular.
