telepathy = tele + pathy
The word is built from Greek combining forms meaning 'far' and 'feeling', but the modern sense of communication of thoughts at a distance is specialized and not fully predictable for a typical learner.
Etymology
Telepathy comes from Greek parts tele- meaning 'far' and -pathy meaning 'feeling', the same parts you see in telephone and empathy. So telepathy is like 'feeling from far', meaning knowing another person's thoughts without speaking or using the usual senses.
