<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">remoteness</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for distance that I've seen before include "A far-off point" , "Space between two objects or points" , "standoffishness" , "Length between two points" , "The gap between two places" .)
