Relating to the supposed ability to communicate thoughts or feelings directly from one mind to another without speaking or writing.
From Greek 'tele' (distance, far off) and 'pathos' (feeling, suffering). Coined in the 1880s as spiritualism and the paranormal became popular intellectual pursuits in Europe.
The word 'telepathy' was literally invented to describe a newly desired ability in the late 1800s when people were fascinated by electricity and invisible forces—they imagined thoughts could transmit like radio waves! It's a word that was created to name something science still hasn't proven exists.
