farther
At greater remove
Farther is the comparative form of far, indicating greater physical distance: The store is farther down the road than I thought.
In American English, farther typically refers to measurable distance, while further handles abstract extension: further discussion, nothing could be further from the truth.
British English uses further for both.
As a verb, to farther means to advance something, though further dominates this use.
