"local" to somewhere else
Is there a word for something "local", "focused", "centred" elsewhere?
Let's assume "local" means "an area close to a location usual to someone".
What would be the word for "here" for a far person?
In other words, I'm looking for a morpheme like "far-local".
Samples:
- "The <foo> disaster went global, affecting the local machinery."
- "The computer updated the local state using a <foo> state."
<foo>: the word I'm looking for
Please forgive in advance my irritating rigor. I already thought about these cases, which I would like to skirt if possible:
- "far": to what I ask, it is too loosely coupled to "local"
- "global": to what I ask, it refers to a too broad area
Solution 1:
The opposite of local that seems to fit your intended uses is remote.
