remoteness
Far from everything
Remoteness is the quality of being far away or isolated.
A place has remoteness when it lies distant from centers of population: The remoteness of the cabin made it perfect for writing.
The word extends to emotional or psychological distance: a remoteness in her manner, the remoteness of ancient history.
Remoteness can also describe low probability: the remoteness of the threat.
