   • 1945, Martin Buber, translated by Ludwig Lewisohn, For the Sake of Heaven, The Jewish Publication Society of America, page 229:

2. (transitive) To remove from an accustomed place or set of associations.

使用する際の注意点

Largely synonymous with alienate, estrange is primarily used to mean “cut off relations”, particularly in a family setting, while alienate is rather used to refer to driving off (“he alienated her with his atrocious behavior”) or to offend a group (“the imprudent remarks alienated the urban demographic”).

When speaking of parents being estranged from a child of theirs, disown is frequently used instead, and has a stronger connotation.
