der Fremde, -n
stranger · abroad
Eine Person oder Sache, die man nicht kennt oder die nicht aus der eigenen Umgebung stammt.
The German noun "Fremde" originally comes from "fremd," which means "strange," "foreign," or "alien." "Fremde" commonly refers to foreign countries or areas outside one's home region, and by extension, it can denote the concept of foreignness or alienness. In some contexts, "Fremde" might translate to "foreign parts," "abroad," or simply "strange place".
A word with a similar meaning is "Ausland," which directly translates to "foreign country" or "abroad."
