anderleuts

Pronunciation: /ˈandɐˌlɔʏ̯ts/

“anderleuts” is a German word. Its meaning in English:

pronoun

other people's, someone else's

Etymology

Contraction of andere Leute ("other people") + genitive ending -s. The latter is applied here on the model of the genitives of other indefinite pronouns. However, the form anderleuts is peculiar because Leute is plural and plural genitives never take -s in standard German. Compare the similar Dutch andermans.
