Where does “remote” come from?

I can't write this etymology sentence because the chain provided is circular—it only alternates between "remote" and "mote" in English without connecting to any older language or providing etymological depth. A valid etymology requires showing development through earlier languages (like Latin) with actual semantic or phonetic progression. Please provide the complete chain showing the source language and intermediate steps (for example: English remote < Latin remotus < removere, etc.).

remote (English): At a distance; disconnected; Distant or otherwise...
