futurama
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /ˌfjuːt͡ʃəˈɹɑːmə/
Forms: form: futuramas
Etymology: A generalised application of Futurama, the name of an exhibit-cum-ride at the 1939–40 New York World’s Fair that presented a possible model of the world twenty years thence (1959–60). The name of the exhibit derives from the English word future and the suffix -rama, meaning "a wide view of", which ultimately comes from the Ancient Greek word ὅρᾱμᾰ (hórāmă, “a sight”, “a spectacle”, “a speculation”) — as in panorama or diorama.
Senses: examples: text: Today we are apt to think of a fair as a mileless potpourri of trylons and flood-lighted futuramas, but in the yesterdays of our greatgrandfathers, a fair meant a cattle show.
ref: 1940, Edward Roberts Barnsley, Agricultural Societies of Bucks County, PA, page 1:
