farness

/ˈfɑɹnəs/ noun

The state of being far off, or the degree to which something is far; distance, span; remoteness

Word Origin A simple Old English beauty: 'feorr' (far, distant) plus the noun suffix '-ness' — the quality of being far. The PIE root '*per-' meant 'to pass through' or 'beyond', giving us 'far', 'afar', and 'farsighted'. The breakdown 'far+ness' is as straightforward as it gets.
