Origin of the word remotely

"Remotely" stems from the Old French word "remote," which itself comes from the Latin "remotus," meaning "removed" or "distant." This "remoteness" initially referred to physical distance, but the word's meaning evolved to encompass a sense of separation or detachment. Today, "remotely" can imply both physical distance (like "working remotely") and a lack of direct connection (like "remotely interested"). Its evolution reflects how our understanding of distance has shifted, from purely physical to encompassing abstract concepts like connection and involvement.
