Televised

/ˈtɛlɪˌvaɪzd/ adjective, verb

Definition

Broadcast on television so that many people can watch it at the same time.

Etymology

From 'televise,' created in the 1920s combining Greek 'tele-' (far) + Latin 'videre' (to see). Television itself is a hybrid word mixing Greek and Latin, created when the technology was invented.

Kelly Says

Televised events changed human psychology—suddenly millions of people could experience the same moment simultaneously, creating shared reality in ways that weren't possible before TV. The moon landing wouldn't have been as powerful without being televised.
