Võõrutatud

Võõrutatud is an Estonian word that translates to "weaned" in English. It most commonly refers to the process of a young mammal, typically a baby, transitioning from milk as its sole source of nutrition to solid foods. This weaning process is a significant developmental milestone for both the young animal and its mother, marking a move towards independence for the offspring.

In a broader, metaphorical sense, "võõrutatud" can also describe a person or entity that has been separated or detached from something they were accustomed to or dependent on. This could be a psychological detachment from a habit, a relationship, or even an ideology. For example, someone might describe themselves as "võõrutatud" from a certain lifestyle after making significant changes. The word carries a sense of removal or disassociation, implying a past connection that has now been severed. The context in which "võõrutatud" is used is crucial for understanding its specific meaning.
