Root Explanation

Teleport → It is formed from "tele-" (from Greek "tēle", meaning far off or at a distance) and "portare" (meaning to carry). The word "teleport" means to carry something or someone across a distance instantaneously.

Memory Tip

Imagine carrying something 'far away' ('tele-') — that's why teleport means to move something across a distance.
