A term humorously derived from "sext" (meaning "sixth hour of the day") and "videotape", but end up being commonly associated with a video recording of intimate sexual acts, often shared or leaked in scandalous contexts.
When that celebrity's sextape leaked, everyone joked about how it was really just a modern take on the “sext” hour!
