Morphology

farness = far (transparent) = far + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'far' with the productive suffix '-ness' yields the abstract noun meaning 'state of being far', which is directly predictable.

Farness comes from the simple word far plus the ending -ness, which means 'state' or 'quality'. So, farness is the 'state of being far', which helps you remember it means 'distance' or being 'far away'.
