      @Sigmatics a sort of squashed version from the Latin, “dominator”. He thought it would dominate.

      They ended up going with the Greek word “kínēma” which means movement, hence movie cameras were “cinematographs” - movement writers.

      But they did call their first camera model Domitor. :)
