Morphology
teleprocessing = processing (semi-transparent) = tele + process + ing
The base 'processing' is clear, and 'tele-' contributes the recognizable idea of distance or remote operation, but the full computing sense is somewhat technical.
Etymology
Teleprocessing combines tele- meaning 'far', the same tele- in telephone and television, with processing, from 'process' meaning 'to handle or work on'. So teleprocessing literally means 'handling data at a distance', which is why it describes data work done in one place while the work or machines are in another.
