ekraan

== Estonian == === Etymology === Borrowed from Russian экра́н (ekrán), from French écran, from Old French escran. Probably from Middle Dutch scherm, from Old Dutch *skirm, from Proto-West Germanic *skirmi, from Proto-Germanic *skirmiz (“fur, shelter, covering, screen”) (compare Dutch scherm (“screen”), German Schirm (“screen”)). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut, divide”). Alternatively from Middle High German schranc, compare German Schrank (“cupboard”), Schranke (“fence”) (from Proto-Germanic *skrankaz (“barrier”)). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ekˈrɑːn/, [ekˈrɑːn] Rhymes: -ɑːn Hyphenation: ek‧raan === Noun === ekraan (genitive ekraani, partitive ekraani) screen; display A surface that reflects, converts or absorbs light for visible output, usually as a part of a device. puuteekraan ― touch screen viietollise ekraaniga telefon ― five-inch screen phone radariekraan ― radar display mobiiliekraan ― phone screen A surface for displaying movies in a movie theater.
