Root Explanation

Televise → It is formed from "tele-" (from Greek "tēle", meaning far or distant) and "visere" (from Latin, meaning to see). The word "televise" means to see something from a distance, typically through a broadcast medium.

Memory Tip

Imagine seeing events that are happening far away — 'tele-' means far, and 'visere' means to see. This helps you remember that to televise is to see something from a distance.
