Etymology: far and fetch.

Whose pains have earn’d the farfetch’d spoil. John Milton, Pa. Lost.By his command we boldly cross’d the line,
And bravely fought where southern stars arise:
We trac’d the farfetch’d gold unto the mine,
And that which brib’d our fathers made our prize. Dryden.York, with all his farfetch’d policy. William Shakespeare, Henry VI.
For farfetch’d rhymes make puzzled angels strain,
And in low prose dull Lucifer complain. Smith.Under this head we may rank those words, which signify different ideas, by a sort of an unaccountable farfetched analogy, or distant resemblance, that fancy has introduced between one thing and another; as when we say, the meat is green when it is half roasted.
