リモート

Japanese

Etymology

From English remote.

Adjective

リモート (な-na inflection, romaji rimōto)

1. remote; not near

Noun

リモート (romaji rimōto)

1. a remote thing
2. (computing) the remote system, server, computer, or device: not local

Usage notes

This term is generally used in compounds, such as リモートスイッチ (“remote switch”) or リモートコントロール (“remote control”), or in technical contexts, such as リモートのホスト ("remote host") or ローカルとリモートの差 ("difference between the local and remote [hosts]"). When used attributively, リモート can be followed by the attributive particle な (na) as a regular na-type adjective, but the more common pattern is to add the possessive particle の (no) as is normal after nouns.
