Picture comes from the early 15 century Latin word pictura meaning"painting." Of course this was before the invention of photography and thus any pictures would have been in paiting or drawing form.
The word has had many variations such as motion picture which was coined in 1912 and refers to the moving images that constitute a movie. The verb form of picture originated in 1738.
