What was Mr. Bells first name and how did they come up with the word telephone?

Answer 1

Alexander Graham Bell. Tele means across, not sure where the word phone came from though.

Answer 2

Tele- is from the Greek combining form tēle- or tēl-, a form of tēle, meaning "afar, far off," while -phone is from Greek phōnē, "sound, voice."

On March 10, 1876, in Boston, Massachusetts, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Thomas Watson fashioned the device itself; a crude thing made of a wooden stand, a funnel, a cup of acid, and some copper wire. But these simple parts and the equally simple first telephone call -- "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you!" -- belie a complicated past. Bell filed his application just hours before his competitor, Elisha Gray, filed notice to soon patent a telephone himself. What's more, though neither man had actually built a working telephone, Bell made his telephone operate three weeks later using ideas outlined in Gray's Notice of Invention, methods Bell did not propose in his own patent.

Answer 3

Alexander Grahm Bell was trying to invent the phonogram when he came up with the telephone. As for how they invented the word, i dont know, Maybe tele like moving you know, transporting, and phone because phone is like hearing, like phonics.

Answer 4

Hey,
There are numerous documented benefits and advantages of teaching children to read early on, and teaching them to reading using phonics and phonemic awareness instructions. It is clear that early language and reading ability development passes great benefits to the child as they progress through school at all grades, and that early language and reading problems can lead to learning problems later on in school.
