Mono means one, chroma means colour, therefore the combined meaning translates as one colour. Black and white film/paper emulsion was once considered monochromatic or panchromatic (wide range of colours), black and white panchromatic film emulsions can see a wider range of colours than b/w monochromatic film emulsion. some b/w films are orthochromatic they cant be exposed to to red light, therefore can't distinguish between red or black,
monochromatic light is light of one colour or one wavelength.

Light with only one type of wavelength. All of the light may only be 520 nm or whatever.
