Titera's Tidbit: Camera
The word camera is Latin for "in the chamber". It was mainly used in law, in particular in the private chambers of a judge. In the 1660's the camera obscura was created, which was a black box with a lens that could project images of external objects. Camera obscura was shortened to camera when modern photography began in 1840 and was extended to television filming devices in 1928.
