Why “telekinesis” is a great word

TELEKINESIS — [Noun] The supposed ability to move physical objects with the power of one's mind alone. From the combining form tele- (from Greek tēle-, "far off, at a distance") + -kinesis (from Greek kínēsis, "movement, motion"). Unlike psychokinesis (which broadly blankets any mental influence over matter, from bending to heating) or levitation (which suggests a passive, serene float, often of oneself), telekinesis implies a specific, willful reach across empty space. It is the chess piece sliding three inches across the board without a hand, the solitary leaf on a windless day twitching once as if called, or the subtle tremor in a teaspoon before it begins its slow, deliberate orbit around a still cup of tea—a profound, lonely rebellion against the tyranny of touch.

noun

An instance of use of such power.
