Etymology
Telepathist comes from the same parts tele- 'far' and path (from pathos) 'feeling', with -ist for 'person'. A helpful way to remember the performer meaning is that a telepathist is a person who appears to read minds from far away, but often does this as a magician using subtle signals or tricks.
