Tηλεόραση [teeleorasi]
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."
The word television - for which t.v. is short - got its name from the Greek word tele, which means distantand the word vision.
The word "television" comes from the Latin word "tele," meaning "far," and the Greek word "vision," meaning "sight." The combination of these roots reflects the technology's ability to transmit visual images over long distances. The Latin and Greek roots contribute to the meaning and usage of "television" by emphasizing its function of providing distant visual communication.
The word "Athletics" come from the Ancient Greek ἀθλητής. Athletics by definition means "combatant in public games", which would make sense because athletes go through quite a bit of training to get to the high competition that you see on TV.
tele = somthing that is sent out using radio waves and vision = somthing that you see, which = television!! yay "tele" is from the Greek word for "distant", and has nothing to do with radio waves.
Yes, "television" is a compound word in the English language. It is formed by combining the Greek word "tele," meaning "distant," and the Latin word "visio," meaning "sight." Together, they convey the concept of seeing distant images.
Τηλε- (transliterated tele- pronounced as in television) It means far. Common examples: television (see from afar) telephone (voice from afar) teleport (transfer something from a distance) etc
tele= comes from the Greek word of "far" vision= comes from the Latin word of "visio"
Television is a hybrid compound, combining the Greek adverb tele "at a distance; far off" with the English word vision, which derives through French from the Latin verb video "to see."
According to a single website I found on a web-search "Tele- is a Greek( ) prefix meaning "distant". It can be short for television or telephone." and another web-search reveled "The word television is derived from a mixture of Latin and Greek words meaning 'far sight' i.e. tele meaning far in Greek and visiomeaning sight in Latin."As to why it's supposedly a combination of Greek and Latin/English (vision not viso) words I still don't know (I'd check for a correlation between the language from the place where it originated and areas that primarily speak Latin and/or Greek/English, or just search for the answer why)

No, "Python" is not a Greek word; it is named after the British comedy television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus." The name was chosen by creator Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s as a tribute to the show. In Greek mythology, the term "Python" refers to a serpent or dragon, but in the context of programming, it specifically refers to the language created by van Rossum.
