Googling it seems to turn up only German words, and the example sentence given is clearly using it as a verb, not an adjective. I was going to add it to Wikisaurus:surprising because I was recently working on that, but I don't want to if I'm not sure it's a real English word. It does look like it needs a German entry though.

Definitely not English. I've added a German heading. Not the same as besonders, which is the German word that lists besonder as a related term. Maybe a German variation. Probably something someone heard, or thought they heard.--Halliburton Shill 06:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Nah! (deprecated template usage) besondere means (deprecated template usage) special and (deprecated template usage) besonders means (deprecated template usage) especially. This doesn't seem to mean anything. SemperBlotto 08:00, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well, it is the stem used for the adjective inflection... but it's never used on its own. -- Prince Kassad 08:41, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
