Root Explanation

Telepath → It is formed from "tele-" (from Greek "tēle", meaning far off or at a distance) and "path" (from Greek "pathos", meaning feeling or suffering). The word describes someone who can feel or perceive thoughts or emotions from a distance.

Memory Tip

Imagine someone who can sense feelings from 'far away' ('tele-') — that's what a telepath does.
