Tele
The English prefix 'tele' is from the Greek word 'tele' meaning 'far.'
The origin of the word "telescope" is ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Italian telescopio or modern Latin telescopium, from tele- 'at a distance' + -scopium (see -scope ).
Distance - from Greek. A more precise definition would be ''from afar''. Greek : τηλε-
it means "see far" telescope is a Greek word (ΤΗΛΕΣΚΟΠΙΟ) it comes from uniting 2 words : tele + scope tele (ΤΗΛΕ) = far scope (ΣΚΟΠΙΟ, ΣΚΟΠΕΥΩ) = see (in ancient Greek) But the actual word telescope I don't think is in the Greek Bible.
the Greek word for telephone is tele and phone. tele means far away and phone means voice, sound
The word "tele" is Greek for "at a distance" or "to a distance," and the word "graph" is Greek for "to write," together translating as "to write at a distance." The word "television" uses the Latin word "visio," meaning "to see," along with the Greek word "tele," which together translates as "to see at a distance."
tele= comes from the Greek word of "far" vision= comes from the Latin word of "visio"
From the Greek word, Pera, meaning 'further'
Telephone is from the Greek tele meaning "far" and phone meaning "voice". There's Greek accents in the actual spelling, but I don't know how to do those on my laptop :-)
The Greek roots of "telephone" are tele- "at a distance" and phoneo "speak."
