Introduction to the verb déstabiliser
The English translation of déstabiliser is “to destabilize” and the infinitive form is pronounced as “day-sta-bee-lee-zay”.
The origin of déstabiliser can be traced back to the Latin word “destabilis”, which means “unstable”. In everyday French, déstabiliser is used to describe something or someone that causes instability or disrupts the balance of a situation.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, déstabiliser is used to talk about an action that had been completed in the past. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:

- L’économie avait été déstabilisée par la crise financière. (The economy had been destabilized by the financial crisis.)
- Nous étions déstabilisés par les nombreuses réformes du gouvernement. (We were destabilized by the numerous government reforms.)
In all these examples, déstabiliser is used in the past tense to describe an action that had been completed before a specific point in the past. The Plus-que-parfait tense is often used in French to describe an action that had happened before another action in the past.
