Far is for distant, but Arc is for ?? many samaples name have the prefix "Arc" in their names

So, instead of a single sustained sound, one that might evolve subtly. 8dio includes those type of samples throughout their sample libraries.

I think this is exactly it. If you notice with those samples there is a gradual build and decay. So I think you are 100% correct.
