"cameo" meaning in All languages combined

See cameo on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈkæm.iː.əʊ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈkæm.i.oʊ/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-cameo.wav [Southern-England], LL-Q1860 (eng)-Wodencafe-cameo.wav [US] Forms: cameos [plural], cameoes [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Italian cammeo, from Medieval Latin camaeus, of unknown origin. The movie sense is short for “cameo role” referring to a famous person who was playing no character, but him or herself. Like a cameo brooch — a low-relief carving of a person’s head or bust — the actor or celebrity is instantly recognizable. More recently, it has come to refer to any short appearances, whether as a character or as oneself. Doublet of camaieu.
