Morphology

televiewer = viewer (semi-transparent) = tele + view + er

The word is fairly clear as 'tele' + 'viewer', but the clipped element 'tele-' is only loosely transparent to many learners.

Etymology

Televiewer comes from tele- meaning 'far' and viewer meaning 'one who watches', the same tele- you see in television. So a televiewer is literally a 'watcher of things from far away', which is why the word means a person who regularly watches television.
