Origin:
The word "alienate" originates from the Latin verb "alienare," which means "to transfer property to another." The noun form, "alienus," means "belonging to another," and was used to refer to foreigners or outsiders.
In the Middle English period, the word "alienen" was borrowed into English and took on a broader meaning, encompassing both the transfer of property and the estrangement or separation of individuals. By the 16th century, the noun form "alien" had emerged to refer to a foreigner or one who was not entitled to certain rights or privileges.
Over time, the meaning of "alienate" has evolved further, coming to refer more specifically to the creation of distance or estrangement between individuals or groups.
