Outlandish

/aʊ̯tˈlændɪʃ/

अजीबोगरीब; विचित्र; अत्यंत असामान्य

Origin & History

From Middle English outlandish (“foreign”), from outland (“foreign country”) + -ish; meaning shifted from “foreign” to “strange/bizarre.”

यह शब्द Middle English outlandish (“विदेशी/परदेशी”) से आया है, जो outland (“विदेश/परदेश”) + -ish से बना; अर्थ समय के साथ “विदेशी” से बदलकर “अजीब/विचित्र” हो गया।

Definition

Something described as outlandish is strikingly unusual or bizarre, often because it is too extreme, imaginative, or different from what people consider normal (e.g., clothes, ideas, stories, behavior).

Outlandish वह चीज़ होती है जो बहुत अजीब/असामान्य लगे—अक्सर इसलिए कि वह अत्यधिक, कल्पनाशील, या सामान्य मानकों से बहुत अलग हो (जैसे कपड़े, विचार, कहानियाँ, व्यवहार)।
