Morphology

far-famed = far + famed (transparent) = far + famed

The meaning 'widely known' is a direct combination of 'far' (widely) + 'famed' (famous), so learners who know the components can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Far-famed comes from the two simple words far ('distant') and fame ('good reputation'). So far-famed describes someone or something that is 'widely known and much admired' even in places far away.
