far
A long way
Far indicates great distance in space, time, or degree.
A far country is remote; the far future is distant in time.
Far often appears with comparatives: far better, far worse, far more likely.
As an adjective, it typically means the more distant of two: the far end of the room, the far side of the moon.
So far means until now; by far emphasizes degree; far and away means by a great margin.
