Introduction to the verb défriper
The English translation of the French verb défriper is “to iron out” or “to smooth out”. It is pronounced as “day-free-pay”.
Défriper comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” which indicates the reversal of an action, and the verb “friper” which means “to wrinkle”. Therefore, défriper literally means “to unwrinkle”.
