Etymology

[edit]

I was complaining here this morning that the etymology of this entry, "From ver- +‎ wijder +‎ -en", looks wrong. This source says it is correct: https://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/verwijderen For the non-Dutch speakers like me: "remove" in the literal sense it means to distance something from its place (German: "entfernen" i. S. v. "fern machen"). Hayos (talk) 13:43, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
