Morphology

fancam = fan + cam (transparent) = fan + cam

Formed from 'fan' + 'cam' (camera); the meaning 'a video filmed by a fan' is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

The word fancam comes from the words fan and cam, with cam short for camera, so it means a 'fan's camera' recording. That's why a fancam is a video a fan films of a performer at a concert or public event.
