The German word "Leinwand" is a noun that means "screen" or "canvas". It is made of the words "Lein", which is an abbreviation of "Leinen" meaning "linen", and "Wand", which means "wall". "Leinwand" often refers to the surface used for projecting films, as in a cinema, or the material on which paintings are made. Similar words in both context and meaning include "Bildschirm" (screen, typically refers to a computer or television screen) and "Projektionswand" (projection screen).
