Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in the 1970s by American physicist Jack Nilles, the term combines the Greek prefix 'tele-' meaning 'far off' or 'distant' with 'commuting', derived from 'commute' via 'permutation'. It emerged during the early energy crises to describe substituting electronic communication for physical travel to work.
