Etymology

The word 'televise' originated in the early 20th century, deriving from the combination of 'tele-', which comes from the Greek 'tฤ“le' meaning 'far off' or 'distant', and 'vise', which is derived from the Latin 'videre', meaning 'to see'. The term emerged with the advent of television technology in the 1920s and 1930s, as inventors and engineers began developing systems to send visual images over airwaves. The first public demonstration of television occurred in 1926, and as the medium gained popularity, so did the use of the term 'televise' to refer to the act of broadcasting programs. Over the decades, the meaning has expanded to encompass not only traditional television but also modern digital streaming services, reflecting the technological advancements and changes in consumer media consumption.
