The answer
QUEER
What queer means
Strange, unusual, or odd in a way that is hard to explain or understand.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *quere*, borrowed from Old French *quer*, meaning "to complain" or "to suspect." The Old French word likely derives from Germanic roots akin to Old High German *querren*, "to grumble" or "to turn." The sense shifted from "complaining" to "strange" or "odd" by the 16th century, perhaps influenced by the idea of something being "turned" or "twisted" away from the normal.
