You mean the English word “Radar”? All the books I read say that’s an acronym derived from the phrase Radio Detection And Ranging.

The English word “television” comes from Greek and Latin words meaning “far” and “look” respectively, too.

Yes, that’s correct. What I guess I didn’t make clear was the Israelis didn’t want to import the word “Radar” from English, but to make a new word using Hebrew roots from their 3200+ year old language that had been focused on religious use for a long, long time. They combined “far” and “look” in some fashion to make the new word.
