—adverb
1. To or at a more forward or distant point in space.
2. At a more forward stage; more fully or completely. [Var. of FURTHER; infl. in form by far]♦ farther, further
Farther is used only with reference to literal, spatial distance; further is employed in figurative senses involving time, degree, or quantity: further in the future; further (=additional) damage. Because it is often hard to tell whether the meaning is spatial or figurative, further is also used where some might prefer farther. We drove no further that day.
