I imagine it has to do with verb conjugation

I think what has happened here is that OOP has tripped up on what "vision" meant

We seem to have gotten "scope" from Ancient Greek twice. One is σκοπέω (skopéō), which is a verb for "look at" or "examine", and the other is σκοπός (skopós), a noun for "watcher". So I can see how they'd get scope (verb) = vision and scope (noun) = visor

Unfortunately the Latin word that we get vision from means "eyesight", which neither sense of scope works for. I think the appropriate old Greek word is ὅρᾱσῐς (hórāsĭs), so maybe remotorasis would be a better guess for "television" on this post

(disclaimer, I'm not a linguist and also don't really know anything about Latin or Ancient Greek, I might be wrong)

You can see the colors, right? It's swapping Greek roots for Latin roots... and vice versa.
