I have been seeing the abbreviation abwert. quite often, and it seems to be unique to an online dictionary I am using. There is no glossary for the abbreviations I can refer to, and I can't seem to find its meaning by googling it. See below for an example:




Kauz der Kauz SUBST

1. in verschiedenen Arten vorkommender, zu den Eulen gehörender Vogel

2. umg. abwert. seltsamer, sonderbarer Mann Er ist schon ein komischer Kauz.




I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me about what this means. Thank you in advance.

      Das Kürzel "umg." bedeutet wohl "umgangssprachlich"; würde es "Umgangsprache" heißen müsste es "Umg." abgekürzt werden und es sollte dann vielleicht auch ein Komma danach stehen.
