Etymology

The word "televise" combines the Greek-derived prefix "tele-" (meaning "far" or "distant") with the Latin-derived root "vise" (from "videre," meaning "to see"). It emerged in the early 20th century as television technology developed, literally describing the act of "seeing at a distance" through broadcast signals. The morpheme "tele-" appears in other words like "telephone" (far + sound) and "telescope" (far + observer), while "vise" is linked to "vision" and "visual."
