Query regarding potustoronnost'
From
Date
Body
To the Russophiles of the List,
Could someone help me with the word "potustoronnost' "? Does it derive
from
"po tu storonu" and how would that translate into English? "Toward that
side"? "On the [other] side"? Is it derived from some expression from
which
the verb [the russian equivalent of "to pass over"?] has been elided?
thanks,
Carolyn
