yonder

adv.
In or at that indicated place: the house over yonder.

adj.
Being at an indicated distance, usually within sight: "Yonder hills," he said, pointing.

pron.
One that is at an indicated place, usually within sight.

[Middle English, from yond, yond. See yond.]

REGIONAL NOTE   The adverb yonder, from Old English geond, is not exclusively Southern but is more frequently used there than in any other region of the United States, and not only by older or uneducated speakers. Yonder is not merely a Southern synonym for there, which in the South tends to mean "only a few feet from the speaker." Yonder carries with it an inherent sense of distance farther than "there" and is used if the person or thing indicated can be seen: the shed over yonder. Or it might be nearby but completely out of sight, as in the next room.

adv, n

Definition: faraway
Antonyms: close, near, nearby
