means The automated measurement and wireless transmission of data from a remote source to a receiving station for monitoring or analysis.
from A 19th-century scientific compound built from Greek pieces: tele-, "far off, distant" (the same prefix lurking in telephone and telescope), plus -metry, from metron, "measure." So at its root it simply means "measuring at a distance" — a word stitched together by engineers who wanted to read a gauge they couldn't stand next to.
