Introduction to the verb désembuer
The English translation of the French verb désembuer is “to demist” or “to defog.” It is pronounced as “day-som-bu-ay” in its infinitive form.

In every day French, it is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is formed by combining the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the Passé Simple tense and the past participle of désembuer.
