One way to picture it: something a great distance off — you can just about see or hear it, but it is nowhere near you.
一樣東西在很遠的地方——看得見輪廓、聽得到一點聲音，但它不在你身邊。地平線那頭的山、夜裡從很遠傳來的火車聲、地圖上要翻好幾頁才找得到的國家。重點是那段距離：中間隔著大片空白，人在這頭，東西在那頭。
From the word’s history
Simply far + away written as one word — the distance is right there in the parts.
就是 far（遠）＋ away（離開這裡）黏成一個字，意思完全寫在零件上：遠、而且離這裡。知道這點就不必另外背，看到字就看到畫面。
