farflung
Spread very widely
Farflung means spread over a great distance or scattered across wide areas: a farflung empire, farflung outposts.
It suggests remoteness from a center: farflung corners of the earth.
The word emphasizes both distance and dispersal—things that are farflung aren't just far away, they're distributed across territory.
Usually hyphenated as far-flung.
