The Chinese word 录像 (lùxiàng) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 录 (lù) and 像 (xiàng). The character 录 originally meant "to write down" or "to record", and it is often used in the context of writing or recording information. The character 像, on the other hand, originally meant "to resemble" or "to look like", and it is often used in the context of images or representations. When these two characters are combined to form the word 录像, the meaning becomes "to record an image" or "to make a video recording". This is because the process of making a video recording involves capturing and storing images, which can then be played back or viewed at a later time.
