Distant in space or time; remote or separated by a considerable distance; also written as 'far-off' or 'far off.'
A compound of 'far' (Old English 'feorr,' meaning distant) and 'off' (Old English 'of,' meaning away or separate), a natural English construction for emphasizing great distance.
The phrase 'far-off lands' appears constantly in adventure literature and children's stories because the combination of these simple words creates a sense of mystery and yearning in just two syllables.
