The compound 跳 (tiào, "jump") + 远 (yuǎn, "far") gives 跳远 (tiàoyuǎn, "long jump") a direct meaning: a jumping event measured by forward reach.
Usage tips
- The word identifies the discipline rather than one particular attempt, so sports talk can use it for schedules, training, and competition results.
