Morphology

remote + learning

The meaning 'learning conducted at a distance' is directly and compositionally derived from 'remote' (at a distance) + 'learning' (the process of acquiring knowledge), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. The pattern (distance + learning) is cross-linguistically common (e.g., 'distance learning' equivalents), reinforcing its straightforward, compositional interpretation.

Etymology

Remote learning comes from a simple picture: remote means 'far away' and learning means studying, so imagine a student at home while the teacher is in another place and they are connected by radio, TV, or the internet. That's why it means 'education done online or at a distance'.
