The word 远离 is formed by combining two independent characters, each with its own core meaning, to create a new, blended concept. The first character, 远 (yuǎn), conveys the idea of a great physical or metaphorical distance, meaning "far" or "distant". The second, 离 (lí), introduces an action-oriented sense of parting, separating, or leaving from something. When fused, 远离 does not merely mean "far" plus "leave"; it conceptually merges to evoke the active process of creating or maintaining that distance, meaning "to keep far away from" or "to distance oneself from", where the action of separating results in a state of being remote.
