I don't think "lejos" is a verb, if that's what you are asking. It means "far away".
The root is from latin laxius > laxus (wide, spacious, roomy)
derivated words:
alejamiento (nm) - distance; removal
alejar (vt) - to move farther away; to distance; to remove
alejarse (vr) - to distance oneself; to go away
lejanía (nf) - far distance; remoteness
lejano (adj) - distant
lejísimos (adv) - very far away
lejos (adv) - far away, far, far off
lejos
Function: adverb
Language: Spanish
