What does AUDIO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Having to do with sound, particularly sound that is captured, sent, or played back using electronic equipment.
Audio comes from the Latin word for I hear, and engineers adopted it early in the twentieth century to label the sound part of a broadcast or recording, distinguishing it from video, the picture part. Used as a noun, audio can mean simply the recorded sound itself, as when someone says the audio was hard to hear, or the equipment used to play and manage sound, as in a shop that sells audio. The same root shows up throughout related technical vocabulary, including audio frequency, the range of sound the human ear can detect, and audiobook, a recorded reading of a written text. Consumer audio equipment ranges from a single small speaker to elaborate home theater systems built from many separate components.
How AUDIO is used
Used both as an adjective, as in audio equipment, and as a noun for recorded or transmitted sound itself.
- The technician checked the audio before the broadcast began.
- She bought new audio equipment for the home theater.
- The video was fine, but the audio kept cutting out.
- He downloaded the audio version of the book for the long drive.
- Poor audio quality ruined an otherwise excellent recording.
