Root Explanation

Videogenic → It is formed from "video" (from Latin "videre", meaning to see) and "-genic" (from Greek "genes", meaning born of or produced by). The word "videogenic" refers to something that is suitable for being seen on video or that produces a good visual effect.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'produced for seeing' — 'video' means to see, and '-genic' means produced by. This helps you remember that videogenic describes something that looks good on video.
