Etymology
The word cine-camera joins cine and camera: cine means 'movement', as in cinema (movies), and camera comes from an old word for 'chamber' or 'dark room' used to take pictures. So a cine-camera is a camera for recording a series of pictures that show movement, in other words a movie camera.
