outlandishadj.n. Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian utlendesk , Middle Dutch utelandich , utelendich , utelantsch , utelendsch (Dutch uitlandig , uitlandsch ), Middle Low German ūtlendich , ūtlendisch , ūtlandisch , Middle High German ūzlendic (German ausländisch ), Old Icelandic útlenzkr , Swedish utländsk < the Germanic base of outland n. + the Germanic base of -ish suffix1. Compare outland adj., outlands adj.Many Scots and northern forms in -s listed at outlands adj. could equally be interpreted as showing this word. The α. forms show i-mutation (compare i-mutated beside unmutated forms in the Germanic languages); in β. forms perhaps independently re-formed < outland n. + -ish suffix1. The stress was presumably on the prefix in Old English, but is shown by metre to have been on the second syllable since at least Chaucer's time. The change is perhaps associated with the appearance of the β. forms; compare quot. c1300 at sense A. 1b with quot. a1300 at landish adj. a. Compare also uplandish adj. and n.
