The word "video" originates from the Latin verb vidēre ("to see"). It entered English in the 1930s as a borrowing from Latin, initially used in technical contexts like television broadcasting. The "-eo" ending reflects the Latin infinitive form but was reinterpreted as a noun suffix in English. The term evolved from describing visual signals (e.g., "video signal") to denoting recorded visual content by the mid-20th century.
