Queer-looking

/ˈkwɪə(ɹ) ˌlʊkɪŋ/

अजीब-सा दिखने वाला; विचित्र दिखने वाला; संदेहजनक-सा दिखने वाला

Origin & History

Compound of queer (“strange, odd”) + looking; queer is from Middle English via Old French, ultimately from Latin quaerere (“to seek/ask”), later developing the sense “odd/peculiar.”

'queer' (“अजीब/विचित्र”) + 'looking' (दिखने वाला) का संयोजन; 'queer' मध्य अंग्रेज़ी में पुरानी फ़्रेंच के माध्यम से आया, जिसकी जड़ लैटिन 'quaerere' (“खोजना/पूछना”) में मानी जाती है; बाद में इसका अर्थ “विचित्र/असामान्य” के रूप में विकसित हुआ।

Definition

Describing someone or something whose appearance seems strange, unusual, or suspicious to the viewer (often implying discomfort or doubt).

किसी व्यक्ति या वस्तु के रूप-रंग का अजीब, असामान्य या संदेहजनक लगना; देखने वाले को असहजता या शक होना (अक्सर यही संकेत देता है)।
