Etymology

The word 'telegram' originated from the combination of 'tele-' from Greek meaning 'distant' and 'gram' from Greek meaning 'something written or drawn'. The use of telegrams as a form of communication was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, allowing people to send urgent messages quickly over long distances. With the advancement of technology, telegrams have been largely replaced by more modern forms of communication like instant messaging and email.
