We study the origin of the abelian dominance in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge for the long-distance physics in terms of the interaction range mediated by gluons. In the MA gauge, diagonal gluon components behave as neutral gauge fields like photons, and off-diagonal gluon components behave as charged matter fields on the residual abelian gauge symmetry. We study the gluon propagator in the MA gauge with the U(1)$_3$ Landau gauge fixing using the SU(2) lattice QCD with $ 2.2 \le \beta \le 2.4$ and $12^3 \times 24$. We find the abelian dominance for the gluon propagator in the MA gauge in the infrared region. The off-diagonal charged gluon behaves as a massive vector boson with the effective mass $M_{\rm ch} \simeq 0.94$ GeV in the region of $r \gsim 0.2$ fm. The origin of the infrared abelian dominance is physically explained as the generation of the charged gluon mass $M_{\rm ch}$ induced by the MA gauge fixing, and the charged-gluon mass generation predicts general abelian dominances for the long-distance physics in QCD in the MA gauge.
