Telecast → It is formed from "tele-" (from Greek "tēle", meaning far or at a distance) and "cast" (from Old English "castan", meaning to throw). The word "telecast" means to throw or transmit a broadcast over a distance.
Think of 'far' ('tele-') and 'throwing' ('cast') something to people who are not close by — that's what telecast means.
