    [Adjective]  | "strange" | \ ˈstrānj \


    1: different from what is usual, ordinary, or expected : odd

    2: not before known, heard, or seen : unfamiliar

    3: not entirely comfortable or well : uncomfortable, ill at ease

    Origin: 13th century ;

     Middle English straunge, strange, straynge "foreign, unfamiliar, from elsewhere, unusual, aloof," borrowed from Anglo-French estrange, estraunge "outside the family, foreign, unusual, marvelous" (continental Old French estrange), going back to Latin extrāneus "not belonging to one's family or household, coming from abroad, foreign, external," from extrā "outside, beyond the boundaries of" + -āneus, adjective suffix {mat|extra-|};

      * Note : For more on the suffix -āneus see: the etymology and note at {spontaneous|spontaneous}. The immediate model for extrāneus was perhaps phrasal derivatives (as circumforāneus "connected with the business of the forum, itinerant," mediterrāneus "remote from the coast, inland") that deal with spatial relationships. The counterpart adjective intrāneus is not attested until about the fifth century.;
