About
The word 照相机 is formed by logically combining three meaningful parts: 照 (to illuminate or shine light upon), 相 (an image or likeness), and 机 (a machine or device). These components sequentially describe the core function of the object: it is a machine that captures an image by shining light (through a lens onto film or a sensor). The compound thus directly builds the concept "light-image-machine", which is the essential definition of a camera.
