368: nickelodeon Dec 11, 2015

Nickelodeon is a cable television channel started in 1977 in Ohio. Unlike its parent channel, Viacom, the word 'nickelodeon' comes from a single word, which has fallen out of fashion. The historical sense of this word is a cinema with a fee of a nickel. The word itself comes from 'nickel' and the Greek word 'odeion', meaning 'roofed-theater', reinforced by the Parisian Odéon Theater.
