英语词汇zoopraxiscope的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

zoopraxiscope. One of the earliest motion picture projec- tors, the zoopraxiscope was built by photographer Eadweard Muybridge in about 1880 to project sequential pictures he had taken a few years earlier of a running horse—the pictures taken for railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, who had bet (correctly) $25,000 that a running horse sometimes had all four feet off the ground at the same time. Muybridge coined the word from the Greek elements zoi, “living” plus praxis, “action” plus skopein, “viewing instrument.” He seems to have first called the instru- ment the zoogyroscope.
