Conversation

Did you see that movie where the girl moves objects telekinetically?

Yeah, it was so cool how she used her mind to lift things!

I wonder if people could actually do that telekinetically in real life.

That would be amazing, but I think it's mostly just fiction.

Root Explanation

Telekinetically → It is formed from "tele-" (from Greek "tēle", meaning far off or at a distance) and "kinetis" (from Greek "kinesis", meaning movement). The word describes the ability to move objects at a distance without physical interaction.

Memory Tip

Imagine being able to move things 'from afar' ('tele-') using 'movement' ('kinesis') — that's what telekinetically means.
