From Webster:

broad
1 a : having ample extent from side to side or between limits b : having a specified extension from side to side
2 : extending far and wide : SPACIOUS

abroad
1 : over a wide area : WIDELY
2 : away from one's home
3 : beyond the boundaries of one's country
4 : in wide circulation : ABOUT

If you were hoping to be humorous and say what is the connection between broad and a "broad"...then, the latter is slang for a female...like Fat Chic.
