'zoom' originates from the English word 'zoom,' which was first used in the early 20th century to describe a rapid movement or increase.

'zoom' changed from the early 20th-century English word 'zoom' and eventually became the modern English word 'zoom-in' with the advent of camera technology.

Initially, it meant 'to move quickly,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to focus closely using a camera lens.'
