The word television is first reported in 1907 long before the technology of the TV set had been invented, and means "the action of seeing by means of Hertzian waves or otherwise, what is existing or happening at a place concealed or distant from the observer's eyes". Other proposals for the name of this then-hypothetical technology were telephote (1880) and televista (1904). The technology was developed in the 1920s and '30s.
Television set first was used in 1945 and was shortened to TV in 1948.
