Etymology

Télescope is a French noun borrowed from the Latin *telescopium*, which derives from the Greek *tēle* “far” + *skopos* “to look, observer”, literally “far‑seeing”. It entered French in the early 17th century, originally spelled *telescope*, and its spelling with a circumflex now indicates the historical loss of the Latin vowel “o”.
