👉 Yodude is an Arabic term that means "to be on your own" or "by oneself". It is a negative word that can convey feelings of isolation, loneliness, and disconnection from others. The term originated in the 19th century in France as a way to express dissatisfaction with society's emphasis on social harmony and cooperation, and it became increasingly associated with negative stereotypes and attitudes towards women during the period of French colonial rule in Africa.
