köken: Borrowed from French aliénation, from Old French alienacion, from Latin aliēnātiō. First attested in 1594.
to alienate, to estrange · to turn into the opposite of something · to worsen; to degenerate; to deteriorate
köken: Sino-Vietnamese word from 他 (“other, alien”) and 化 (“to change; -ize; -ate”); calque of German Entfremdung (“estrangement, alienation”). Its original meaning "to alienate, to estrange" – now only found in philosophical, especially Marxist, literature – evolves to "to turn into the opposite of something" and "to change for the worse, to worsen".
