Etymology

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *keyh₂-der. Ancient Greek κινέω (kinéō) Proto-Indo-European *-mn̥ Proto-Hellenic *-mə Ancient Greek -μα (-ma) Ancient Greek κίνημα (kínēma) Proto-Indo-European *gerbʰ- Proto-Hellenic *grə́pʰō Ancient Greek γράφω (gráphō) Ancient Greek -γράφος (-gráphos)bor. Latin -graphuslbor. French -graphe French cinématographeclip. French cinémabor. English cinema Borrowed from French cinéma, clipping of cinématographe (term coined by the Lumière brothers in the 1890s), from Ancient Greek κίνημα (kínēma, “movement”) + γράφω (gráphō, “write, record”). Compare German Kino (“cinema”), ultimately from the same Greek source.

(countable, uncountable) The art of making films and movies; cinematography.
