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’.
