television

Postby eberntson » Tue Sep 08, 2020 4:45 pm

The word television is a chimera word because it is a combination of greek and Latin roots. Apparently, some Wordniks dislike the word because of this mashup nature. Plus, it was invented by the Germans. There must be some interesting dark corners in its history that might be worth shedding light on. I say, Lights, camera, Action!
