Ideally, something that means to appraise or assess value from a distance.



I don't think there is going to be such a word.



But something similar, like to assess a situation, or to assess risk could be close analogues for what I want. Thanks.

  • Consider changing the phrase close to it in your title to the word similar so that the afar/close relationship doesn't make the word it mean the thing assessed.

  • It might clarify things a bit if you were to explain what you mean by 'distance.' Is that geographic, psychological or visual (and so on) distance?

  • Assuming those numbers are from Google search you should remove them and use a tool intended for that purpose (e.g. an Ngram tool). Google search gives an estimate that is always several orders of magnitude off. See here.

  • @Laurel I agreed google should be discouraged and those values are not a true filtered indicator, however due to security google wont let me build ngrams So as a very simple relative head count their total is all I can access. I was cautious to use the filtered thousands result not the millions of unfiltered hits
