remove: [14] The -move of remove comes from the same source as English move itself – Latin movēre ‘move’. Combination with the prefix re- ‘again, back’ produced removēre ‘move back, move away’, which reached English via Old French removeir. The Latin past participle remōtus gave English remote [15], etymologically ‘moved away to a distant place’. => move, remote
remove (v.)
early 14c., "move, take away, dismiss," from Old French removoir "move, stir; leave, depart; take away," from Latin removere "move back or away, take away, put out of view, subtract," from re- "back, away" (see re-) + movere "to move" (see move (v.)). Related: Removed; removing.
remove (n.)
1550s, "act of removing," from remove (v.). Sense of "distance or space by which any thing is removed from another" is attested from 1620s.
