Introduction to the verb désencrasser
The English translation of the French verb désencrasser is “to unclog” or “to unblock.” It is pronounced as “day-zan-kra-say.”
The verb désencrasser is a combination of the prefix “dés-” meaning “to remove” and the word “encrasser” meaning “to clog” or “to dirty.” It is derived from the Old French word “encrasser” which comes from the Latin word “incrassare” meaning “to thicken” or “to make thick.”
In everyday French, désencrasser is commonly used in the Passé Antérieur tense to describe actions that were completed before another action in the past. This tense is formed by combining the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Passé Simple tense with the past participle of désencrasser.
Example 1: J’eus désencrassé le tuyau avant qu’il ne se bouche à nouveau. (I had unclogged the pipe before it got blocked again.)
Example 2: Nous eûmes désencrassé la cheminée avant de faire un feu. (We had unclogged the chimney before making a fire.)
