Television (often abbreviated to TV, T.V., or more recently, tv; sometimes called telly, the tube, boob tube, or idiot box in
British English) is a widely used
telecommunication system for
broadcasting and receiving
moving pictures and
sound over a distance. The term may also be used to refer specifically to a television set,
programming or television
transmission. The word is derived from mixed
Latin and
Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek tele , far, and Latin vision, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first person).
