'telecom-linked' originates from the combination of 'telecom,' a short form of 'telecommunications,' and 'linked,' meaning 'connected.'

The term 'telecom' evolved from 'telecommunications,' which itself comes from the Greek 'tele,' meaning 'far,' and Latin 'communicare,' meaning 'to share.'

Initially, 'telecom' referred to the technology of communication over a distance, and 'linked' meant 'connected.' The combined term 'telecom-linked' specifically refers to being connected to telecommunications.
