'zoom-out' originates from the English word 'zoom,' which initially meant 'to move quickly' and was later adapted to camera terminology to mean 'to adjust the lens for a wider view.'

'zoom' changed from its original meaning of 'to move quickly' in the early 20th century to include camera-related meanings by the mid-20th century.

Initially, it meant 'to move quickly,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'adjusting a camera lens for a wider view.'
