Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research. The term derives from the Greek prefix 'tele-' meaning 'distant' or 'afar' combined with 'patheia' meaning 'feeling' or 'perception', shifting over time to specifically denote the direct transmission of thoughts between minds.
