Etymology: "Videoland" is a plain compound: "video" joined to the suffix "-land," which English has long used to mean a place or domain devoted to something, as in "wonderland" or "dreamland." Here the suffix attaches to "video," the term for recorded moving images, so the word names a realm where such recordings are gathered and watched. The pattern itself is what gives the word its shape. Attaching "-land" to a noun turns a thing into a territory of that thing, so a word like "videoland" reads as a country of video rather than a piece of equipment. That is why the term suits a streaming service or a themed digital world better than a single film or a player.
