It often describes something that is far away in terms of space or time. In a metaphorical sense, it can also refer to a spiritual or relational distance, such as being far from God or from understanding.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, distance was a significant factor in daily life, affecting communication, travel, and relationships. The concept of being "far" could imply separation not only physically but also socially or spiritually. In the Greco-Roman context, distance could also symbolize a lack of access to power or knowledge.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem.
