Actually, "faraway" is a whole word, used as an adjective as a location, e.g. "exotic faraway places".

I feel you wouldn't use it for actual locations, though, e.g. "it was too far away from me".

You'll note that I characterized "Ethiopianwolf" as being even more confusing than "Faraway", since "wolf" is definitely a separate word and it isn't clear whether "away" is or not. That unclarity still makes it difficult to communicate the capitalization in the case where capitalization matters.
