Root Explanation

Veejay is a blend of 'video' (from Latin 'video', meaning I see) and 'DJ' (short for disc jockey, referring to a person who plays recorded music). The term 'veejay' refers to a person who presents music videos on television, combining the visual aspect of video with the role of a DJ.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'sees' ('video') and presents music ('DJ') — a veejay is someone who showcases music videos.
