1. 1像素

    A pixel is the smallest little square of colour that makes up a picture on a screen. One photo is thousands or millions of them packed together; zoom in far enough and you can see the squares. More pixels usually means a sharper picture, which is why people talk about a camera's . Though actually, in everyday talk people also use pixel a bit loosely, as if it meant picture quality in general. The word is from , an old short form of pictures, plus el from element — a tiny element of a picture. People often explain it as a blend of picture and element, which is the same idea in different clothes. First attested in 1965. The x comes from writing pics as , a spelling already in use in the 1880s.

組成pix ('pictures') + el from element; often taken to be a blend of picture and element. First attested in 1965.
