"Television ? Le mot vient à moitié du latin et à moitié du grec. Rien de bon à en attendre." (C. P. SCOTT, aux alentours de 1910). Tele vient du grec telos, que l'on interprète aujourd'hui comme signifiant "loin", "distance". Quant à vision, il est tiré du latin videre (voir).
Petite digression...
Je trouve fascinant de voir comment les mots sont nés, et ont évolué. En fait, l'idée de "voir" a pour racine indo-européenne le mot weid. Cela a donné le mot idein en grec, puis idée. Et à partir de la racine latine, on a eu visage... et l'expression vis-à-vis (= face à face) !
