近 ≠ 远
jìn ≠ yuǎn
near ≠ far
Both 近 and 远 have the way/path element in them.
近 (jìn): looks like a shelter, associating closeness. By contrast, 远 (yuǎn) has a pronunciation similar to 元 (yuán), the currency. The п suggests an element of distance. The third-tone down-and-up movement might be reminiscent of ocean waves and travelling long distances.
