Root Explanation

Telemetry → It is formed from "tele-" (from Greek "tēle", meaning far off or at a distance) and "metron" (meaning measure). The word refers to the measurement of data from a distance, typically used in contexts like space exploration or remote sensing.

Memory Tip

Think of measuring things that are 'far off' ('tele-') — that's why telemetry means measuring data from a distance.
