Contexts with "some distance"

A curious German word is "entfernen" (to put some distance between), because the prefix "ent-" means to take something away, in this case the distance, but taking away the distance would mean to bring it closer which is the exact opposite of what the word "entfernen" means. Ein seltsames deutsches Wort ist "entfernen", denn die Vorsilbe "ent-" bedeutet, dass man etwas fortnimmt, in diesem Fall also die Ferne fortnimmt, sich also nähert, was aber das genaue Gegenteil der wirklichen Bedeutung von "entfernen" ist.
