What does VIDEO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A recording of moving visual images, typically with accompanying sound; also, the visual component of a television broadcast, or the act of recording such images.
Video began as a technical term for the picture portion of a television signal, distinct from the audio, before expanding to cover recorded moving images generally, from home movies to music videos to online clips. As a verb, to video something means to record it on a camera, a use more common in British speech than in American English, which tends to say film or record instead. The rise of video games, video calls, and video streaming has kept the word constantly productive, forming new compounds as technology changes. Despite these many uses, video always centers on the same core idea: images that move, captured or displayed electronically.
How VIDEO is used
Video is extremely common across everyday, technical, and broadcasting contexts, both as a noun and, in British usage, as a verb.
