Morphology

telecomputing = computing (transparent) = tele + compute + ing

The meaning is directly compositional: tele- means 'at a distance' and computing refers to computer-based processing.

Etymology

Telecomputing joins tele- meaning 'far', as in telephone and television, with computing from computer meaning 'to calculate'. So telecomputing describes systems that let people use computers and networks from a distance.
