This sentence is original and was not derived from translation.

Ein seltsames deutsches Wort ist "entfernen", denn die Vorsilbe "ent-" bedeutet, dass man etwas fortnimmt, in diesem Fall also die Ferne fortnimmt, sich also nähert, was aber das genaue Gegenteil der wirklichen Bedeutung von "entfernen" ist.

added by BraveSentry, November 26, 2010
➜ #637071A curious German word is "entfernen" (to put some distance between), because the prefix "ent-" means to take something away, in this case the distance, but taking away the distance would mean to bring it closer which is the exact opposite of what the word "entfernen" means.

Ethimologisch hat entfernen etwas mit Ferne zu tun, aber es bedeutet heute "wegnehmen, wegmachen etc." Z.B. Ich entferne einen Fleck --> wegmachen.

Was dagegen, demnächst deutsche Anführungszeichen zu setzen?: „“„“„“

Ich habe die Anführungszeichen ersetzt. Das mittlere Paar hätte ich persönlich weggelassen.
