Un mot allemand curieux est "entfernen" (mettre de la distance), car le préfixe "ent-" signifie enlever quelque chose, dans ce cas la distance, mais enlever la distance signifierait la rapprocher, ce qui est exactement l'opposé de ce que signifie le mot "entfernen".
A 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.
