Word origin
The word 'film' originated from the French word 'filme' in the late 19th century, which came from the Latin word 'pellicula' meaning 'little skin' or 'thin membrane'. The term was initially used to describe a thin layer of material for photographic purposes, which later evolved to refer to motion pictures.
