the.com/recording

means A captured copy of sound, image, or data that lets a moment be played back after it's gone.

from From 'record,' which traces to Latin recordari, 'to remember' or 'call to mind' — built from re- ('again') and cor/cord-, 'heart,' since the heart was once thought the seat of memory. The '-ing' turns the old act of remembering into the modern machine-made artifact that remembers for you.
