A teleworker is someone who does their job from home — or from anywhere away from the office — and stays connected to their employer, colleagues and customers by computer and phone. The work itself is normal office work; only the place has changed. The word comes from the 1980s and 90s, when this was a new and rather futuristic idea, and it has an official, policy-document feeling: governments, HR departments and traffic planners use it. Ordinary people, especially after 2020, mostly say "I work from home" or "I'm remote", and remote worker has largely taken over in daily English. So teleworker is not wrong, just slightly dated and formal — you will still meet it in reports, contracts and rules about tax and insurance.
遠距工作者(在家上班的人)
組成tele- + worker. Tele- is Greek for 'far off, at a distance' — the same piece as in telephone and television. So: a worker at a distance, away from where the work is normally done.
