One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):
►yuǎn* 远[遠] {A} s.v. far; distant (lit./fig.) ‖ chà de ∼ 差得∼ be far behind ‖ ∼ zài shíyī shìjì ∼在十一世纪 as far back as the 11th century ◆b.f. keep away from; keep at a distance ►jìng'éryuǎnzhī 敬而远之
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 远:) The simple-form character 远 (7 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 遠 (13 strokes), replacing the full-form component 袁 (10 strokes) with 元 (4 strokes).
Note: In the simple form 远, the full-form component 袁 yuán (phonetic) becomes 元 yuán (phonetic).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 遠() yuǎn ‘far-off’ combines 辶(辵 chuò) ‘walk/pace/go’, and 袁() yuán ‘long robe/gown’ (phonosemantic).
Compare: 元() yuán ‘(head/top) beginning/primary’.
