Re: Othering??

[Paul Hodges]

Eh?  It's a perfectly good word that gets a moderate amount of use, typically describing the treatment of people who are to be considered outsiders to a group.  It is a fairly modern coinage, but "other" is recognised as a transitive verb by both Oxford and Meriam-Webster in their recent dictionaries (my older Shorter Oxford doesn't list "other" as a verb, though).

a word that does not really exist in English

DeepL translate Othering in French by altérisation, which is not really French either (the right word would be altération)

I suppose this is related to the use of sharp, flat and other beccare
