cam
Rotating motion transformer
A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in machinery that converts rotational motion into linear motion, or vice versa.
A projection on a rotating shaft pushes against another part as it turns: camshaft, cam belt.
In casual use, cam is short for camera, especially a webcam: Turn on your cam.
To cam is to broadcast video of oneself online, often in adult entertainment contexts. (Capitalized Cam is a given name.)
