The Chinese word 远处 (yuǎnchù) is a compound noun formed by combining the adjective 远 (yuǎn), meaning "far" or "distant", with the noun 处 (chù), meaning "place" or "location". This follows a common and productive pattern in Mandarin word formation where a descriptive modifier is placed before a generic noun to create a more specific term, in this case, yielding the meaning "a distant place" or "in the distance". The compound functions as a single lexical unit, seamlessly integrating the concept of spatial remoteness into a standard noun that can act as a subject or object in a sentence.
