noun
the art or technique of making movies
(source-Merriam-Webster)
I encounter this word in the reading “The death of Art and the birth of pop”. The word is found in the sentence “When the working classes got the vote and a right to an education, and when cinema and television developed in the twentieth century a new cultural space opened up which completely re-defined what mattered and what didn’t.” After I look it up in the dictionary, I now understand it means the art or technique of making movies.
