    It could also be that they chose “remotoscope” over “remotorasis” intentionally because the former is such a fun word.

      “scope” also fits in with how we already use that word, e.g. microscope/telescope/periscope.
      I’d wager most (non-indian, because i’d assume they don’t use the latin/greek parts of english as much) english speakers could figure out what “remotoscope” means even completely devoid of context.
