Kanji in this term 遠えんGrade: 2 kan’on

From Middle Chinese 遠 (MC hjwonX, “distant; remote; far”), corresponding to modern Mandarin yuǎn, Cantonese jyun5.

As a verb in Chinese compounds like 遠色 (enshoku, “keep aloof from beauty”, kun’yomi iro o tōzaku), from Middle Chinese 遠 (MC hjwonH, “keep at a distance; keep away from”), corresponding to Mandarin yuàn, Cantonese jyun6.

The kan’on pronunciation, so likely a later borrowing.
