Russian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

By surface analysis, 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[edit]

  • IPA(key): [ɐt͡ɕːʉˈdʲitʲ]

Verb[edit]

отчуди́ть (otčudítʹpf (imperfective отчужда́ть)

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