The Chinese word for camera, 摄像机 (shèxiàngjī), is a compound of three characters:- **摄** (shè) means "to take" or "to capture".- **像** (xiàng) means "image" or "resemblance".- **机** (jī) means "machine" or "device".So, the word 摄像机 literally means "a machine that takes images". This is a fitting name for a camera, as it captures images of the world around us.The word 摄像机 was first used in the early 20th century, when cameras were first introduced to China. It is now the standard word for camera in Chinese.
