abroad:

[13] It was only in the 15th century that

abroad

came to mean ‘in foreign parts’. Earlier, it had been used for ‘out of doors’, a sense still current today, if with a rather archaic air; but originally it meant ‘widely’o,r‘about’ (as in ‘noise something abroad’). It was formed quite simply from

a

‘on’a,n,dthe adjective

broad

, although it was probably modelled on the much earlier (Old English) phrase

on brede

, in which

brede

was a noun, meaning ‘breadth’.

=> broad

abroad (adv.)

mid-13c., \\\\\\\"widely apart,\\\\\\\" from Old English

on brede

, which meant something like \\\\\\\"at wide\\\\\\\" (see a- (1) + broad (adj.)). The sense \\\\\\\"out of doors, away from home\\\\\\\" (late 14c.) led to the main modern sense of \\\\\\\"out of one\\\\\\\"s country, overseas\\\\\\\" (mid-15c.).
