+ '''abaliēnō''' (present infinitive abaliēnāre, perfect active abaliēnāvī, supine abaliēnātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|ab-|aliēnō|t1=away|t2=to make another's, estrange]].^(OLD 2012)^(Etymonline)^(Wiktionary) [[m|la|aliēnō]] is from [[m|la|aliēnus|t=of another]], from [[m|la|alius|t=other]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*al-jo-]] and [[ine-pro|*h₂el-io-|t=another]], cognate with [[grc|ἄλλος|tr=állos]]; the suffix of [[m|la|aliēnus]] he calls unclear.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus has it first: in the ''Mercator'' of handing a woman over to another, in the ''Asinaria'' of getting rid of a picture, and in the ''Miles gloriosus'' of being parted from a man.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its legal sense is to transfer property to another, give up possession of it.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) More widely it is to remove or separate, and to turn people or their minds away, to estrange, as Cicero says of those who had alienated others by envy.^(OLD 2012) Livy uses it of minds turned away from the sense of their own troubles.^(OLD 2012) Scribonius Largus has it of opium numbing the senses, and with ''mente'' of people who lose their wits after drinking a certain plant.^(OLD 2012) Inscriptions spell it ⟨abaleno⟩.^(TLL) Stelten gives “alienate, separate, remove, legally transfer”.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|abalienate]], a civil-law term from the 1550s, comes from its participle.^(Etymonline)
