An Esperanto compound built from tele (far, from Greek tele) and the verb vidi (to see, from Latin videre), plus the noun ending -o. It mirrors the international word television, which is built from the same Greek and Latin parts. Strictly it names the medium; the set itself is a televidilo, with the tool suffix -il.
