отчудить

Russian

Etymology

Synchronically, from от- (ot-) + чуд- (čud-) + -и́ть (-ítʹ). The middle part is cognate with чужо́й (čužój, another's, alien), but lacking the Early Proto-Slavic *-jь suffix, suggesting that the term originated in Early Proto Slavic or before.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [ɐt͡ɕːʉˈdʲitʲ]

отчуди́ть (otčudítʹ) pf (imperfective отчужда́ть)

  1. to alienate, to expropriate
  2. to estrange
  3. (colloquial, perfective only) to do something very strange
