SIBI-P1 H2114-06

estranged (woman)

Rootזור (z-w-r)
Core Meaningsturning aside, departing, becoming foreign, estrangement, alienation
Semantic Rangeforeign, alien, estranged, outsider, unauthorized, profane; when used substantively, often "foreign/estranged woman," sometimes with connotations of adultery or illegitimacy
Conceptual SignificanceThis term often marks covenantal or relational boundaries—one who has turned aside from proper allegiance or stands outside the community. In wisdom literature, the "estranged woman" embodies both moral deviation and covenantal unfaithfulness, reflecting the root’s theme of turning away.
Morphological NotesAdjective, feminine singular absolute (from the root זוּר). Functions attributively or substantively to describe a single feminine noun, often "woman."
Rendering RationaleThe adjective is feminine singular absolute, so the rendering reflects a single feminine referent. "Estranged" preserves the root idea of turning aside or becoming alien, conveying not merely foreignness but relational separation inherent in זוּר.
