The word "telemetry" can be broken down into its roots and affixes as follows:
1. **Root**:
- **"meter"**: This part comes from the Greek word "metron," meaning "measure." It refers to the measuring aspect of the term.
2. **Affix**:
- **"tele-"**: This prefix comes from the Greek word "tēle," meaning "distant" or "far off." It indicates that the measurement or data collection is done over a distance.
When combined, "telemetry" refers to the process of measuring data (often in real-time) from a distance, such as in remote sensing or monitoring of equipment.
