tele
/ˈtele/ · B1 · noun · f
television
📺 Short for televisión, from Greek tele = far + Latin visio = seeing
La tele is the casual clipped form of la televisión, so it stays feminine. The same Greek tele = far shows up in teléfono (far + sound) and telescopio (far + look), which gives you a family to hang it on.
