othering
This term is primarily used in academic, sociological, and psychological contexts to describe the social process of creating a divide between an "in-group" and an "out-group." It carries a strong negative connotation, as it implies a systemic or intentional effort to strip individuals of their shared humanity to justify discrimination or exclusion.
As a noun, it functions as a gerund describing a conceptual process. While it can be used in the plural in very specific theoretical discussions regarding different types of othering, it is most commonly treated as an uncountable abstract noun referring to the general phenomenon.
