The word telecommunication was adapted from the French. It is a compound of the Greek prefix tele- (τηλε-), meaning "distant", and the Latin communicare, meaning "to share", and its written use was recorded in 1904 by the French engineer and novelist Édouard Estaunié. The prefix "tel" means "far, far off, operating over distance"... from Greek tele-, combining form of tele "far off, afar, at or to a distance," related to teleos (genitive telos) "end, goal, completion, result," from PIE root *kwel-"; "tel" also means " "far" in space and time"."Communication" was first used as an English word in the late 14th century. It comes from Old French comunicacion (14c., Modern French communication), from Latin communicationem (nominative communicatio), noun of action from past participle stem of communicare "to share, divide out; communicate, impart, inform; join, unite, participate in," literally "to make common," from communis".
