zondaar
Dutch
editEtymology
editFrom Middle Dutch sondâer, also sonder. Equivalent to zonde + -aar. It is the only word in which the long-vowel form -aar (rather than reduced -er) follows a consonant other than -l-, -n-, -r- in modern Dutch; this is surely to avoid homophony with zonder (“without”).
