距

• 拼音: jù
• 汉字拆解: 距 = 足 (foot/distance) + 巨 (enormous — phonetic component)

含义

To be (a distance) from; to be apart from. Indicates spatial or temporal separation between two points.

Functions as both a preposition and verb. Used in formal and written Chinese to express measurable distance or time remaining before an event. More precise and literary than 离 in formal contexts; both are acceptable in everyday usage.
