In contemporary English, the phrase 'at one remove' simply means 'one step away from.' The phrase is typically used to denote conceptual rather than physical distance, but at times both are implicated; for example, when speaking of the historian whose account of an ancient historical event is 'at one remove' from an ancient account of the same event.
