What does CAMERA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A device that records images as photographs, film or video signals.
The word camera is Latin for a chamber, and the first cameras were literally darkened rooms in which light from a small hole projected a scene onto a wall. Modern ones focus light through a lens onto film or an electronic sensor, and they are built into phones, cars and doorbells as well as sold as separate gadgets. In law the Latin phrase in camera still means in a judge's private room rather than in open court.
