and foreigners

To be or become a stranger, foreign or alien, to act as an outsider; by extension, to act in a way that deviates from what is considered familiar, familial, or sacred. This includes being a foreigner or outsider to a group, something that is profane (not part of the sacred, or ritually acceptable), or, in some contexts, to be adulterous or unfaithful, especially of a woman violating marriage norms. Semantic range extends from literal foreignness or estrangement, to figurative unfaithfulness or violation of established norms.
