τηλέφωνο

Etymology: From Greek 'τῆλε' (tele) meaning 'far, distant' and 'φωνή' (phone) meaning 'voice, sound'. The word literally means 'distant voice' and was coined to describe the technology that allows communication over distance. The same Greek roots appear in English words like 'telephone', 'telephony', 'telecom', and many other technology-related terms.
