My guess:
"Othering" is the visual result of a word of 8 letters ending in
".....ing" (e.g., Building) partly being overwritten by the word "Other".
This can happen when a progression line is repeatedly overwritten by
ending it with a lone carriage return character (CR, ASCII 13) causing
the cursor to return to the beginning of the same line on the terminal
screen. Only when a line feed (LF, ASCII 10) is received, the cursor
will move one line down.
-Loading<CR>
\Loading<CR>
|Loading<CR>
/Loading<CR>
Other<CR><LF>
To find out which word exactly is overwritten each time, try capturing
the output in a file. On unix-like platforms there are several
techniques for this, redirection comes to mind.

Eh? It's a perfectly good word that gets a moderate amount of use,
typically describing the treatment of people who are to be considered
outsiders to a group. It is a fairly modern coinage, but "other" is
recognised as a transitive verb by both Oxford and Meriam-Webster in
their recent dictionaries (my older Shorter Oxford doesn't list
"other" as a verb, though).

a word that does not really exist in English
DeepL translate Othering in French by altérisation, which is not
really French either (the right word would be altération)
I suppose this is related to the use of sharp, flat and other beccare
