'close-up' originates from English, specifically the combination of 'close' and 'up', where 'close' meant 'near' and 'up' indicated 'toward a higher position'.

'close-up' evolved from the English phrase 'close up', which was used in the context of photography and film to describe a shot taken from a short distance.

Initially, it meant 'to move closer', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a detailed view or image'.
