Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'κάμερα' meaning 'camera' is borrowed from the English word 'camera', which in turn comes from the Latin 'camera', meaning 'vaulted room' or 'chamber'. The Latin term was used in the early days of photography to describe a 'camera obscura', a darkened room or box used to project images, which eventually led to the modern usage referring to photographic devices.
