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.
- 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.
