'phone-related' originates from the word 'phone,' which is a short form of 'telephone,' derived from Greek 'tēle' meaning 'far' and 'phōnē' meaning 'voice or sound.'

'telephone' changed from the Greek word 'tēlephōnos' and eventually became the modern English word 'telephone.'

Initially, it meant 'far sound,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a device for transmitting sound over distances.'
