The Chinese word 远处 (yuǎnchù) is composed of two characters: 远 (yuǎn) and 处 (chù). The character 远 originally meant "distant" or "far away", and was often used in the context of distance in space or time. The character 处 originally meant "place" or "location", and was often used to refer to a specific location or position. When combined, the two characters 远处 (yuǎnchù) took on the meaning of "distant place" or "far away place". Over time, the meaning of 远处 evolved to include the idea of "remote" or "in the distance", and it is now commonly used to refer to places that are far away or difficult to reach.
