Today’s first #kanji is #遠, which is listed under #しんにょう（辶）. 辶 indicates association with “going.” 袁 is not used by itself in the modern Japanese but it describes loose clothing, from which you can think of the meaning of “long” here. Can you tell what it means then?
Meaning: far (opposite of 近)
Reading: エン、オン、とお（どお） (it is お, not う)
遠近（エンキン）: far and near; distance
遠足（エンソク）: a (long) walk, an excursion (a day trip)
遠慮（エンリョ）する: to hold back, to be thoughtful; to decline, to refrain

敬遠（ケイエン）する: to keep at a respectful distance; [baseball] to give <a batter> an intentional walk
久遠（クオン）: eternity
遠（とお）い: far, distant, remote;
