Root Explanation

Faraway → It is formed from "far" (from Old English "feorr", meaning distant) and "away" (from Old English "aweg", meaning away or off). The word "faraway" describes something that is distant or off in space or time.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'distant' ('far') and 'off' ('away') — together they describe a place that is far away.
