estrangement

noun

Etymology: Old French estrangement. By surface analysis, estrange + -ment (“act, state”).

1. The act of estranging; the act of alienating; alienation.

   “The impeachment crisis is also a symptom of a country caught in a massive political estrangement that is tearing apart any sense of common patriotic purpose. It has exposed a political culture in which the facts – in this case, of the President’s actions – are no longer sacrosanct and that has been laced with a fog of misinformation by his allies.”

2. The state of being alien; foreign, non-native.
