Telekinesis

Telekinesis is a noun that refers to the ability to move objects by nonphysical means.  The word of our word of the day is kinesis (ken EE sis) a Greek word for ‘motion.’ The Greek prefix T-E-L-E means ‘at a distance,’ as we see in words like ‘telescope’ or ‘television.’ When combined, we get a word that refers to moving things at a distance. Example: It’s times like this I wish I had telekinesis powers. When I’m too tired to get up and carry my bags to the bedroom, the ability to move things without touching them would be a great power to have.
