Telescopically → It is formed from "telescope" (from Greek "tele" meaning far and "skopein" meaning to look or see) and the suffix "-ically" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "telescopically" means in a manner that relates to looking at things that are far away, often used in the context of viewing distant objects through a telescope.
