Word origin

The word is a Korean phonetic borrowing of CCTV, short for closed-circuit television, which originally names a video system whose signals stay within a limited network.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may recognize CCTV from signs, but Korean commonly uses this form in everyday speech for the camera itself, not only the whole monitoring system.
