cinta

From Late Latin cincta, plural of cinctum, variant of cinctus.

cinta de seguridad

security tape, surveillance tape, security footage

Así fue, por ejemplo, en El nacimiento de una nación (1915) de Griffith, la película fundacional del séptimo arte. Sería impensable hablar de las innovaciones de esa cinta, de su osadía visual, y no nombrar la influencia decisiva que tuvo en los linchamientos del Ku Klux Klan.

cinta cinematográfica
cinta cinematográfica#Spanish

cámara

Inherited from Old Spanish camara, borrowed from Vulgar Latin camara, variant of Latin camera, from Ancient Greek καμάρα (kamára, “something with an arched cover, a vaulted chamber”). Doublet of cambra.

der

(cinematography) cameraman, camera operator (somebody who operates a movie camera or television camera)


gore

(film) gore; splatter (genre of gory horror)


plano

Learned borrowing from Latin planus, from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂-. Compare llano, a doublet inherited from the same source.


tragedia

From Latin tragoedia, from Ancient Greek τρᾰγῳδῐ́ᾱ (trăgōidĭ́ā), from τρᾰ́γος (trắgos, “male goat”) + ᾠδή (ōidḗ, “song”).


thriller

es-noun

thriller m (plural thrillers or thriller)

Unadapted borrowing from English thriller.

ubor

cabecera

cabeceras (plural)

From cabeza (“head”) + -era. Compare Portuguese cabeceira.

género

tanda

→ Basque: txanda

→ English: tanda

Cognate to Catalan tanda and Galician tanda, of unknown origin. Perhaps from a Latin tanta (literally “that much”) or nominalization of Latin tandem (“(of time) at length, at last”), with contamination from either. Normally suggested to be from an instance noun Arabic ضَمْدَة (ḍamda, “bandage”) from the root ض م د (ḍ m d) being metaphorically used, however, apart from this semantic development being dubious, not only the consonants do not match but this Arabic noun is of utmost rarity.

ar-root

ض م د (ḍ m d)

el mejor momento de la tanda

(music, film, theater) performance, show, session (instance of a series of performances or a movie shows)
