Introduction to the verb déboutonner
The English translation of déboutonner is “to unbutton.” It is pronounced as “day-boo-ton-ay” in its infinitive form.
Déboutonner comes from the combination of the French words “dé” meaning “un-” and “bouton” meaning “button.” It is derived from the Latin word “bottone,” meaning “button.” It is most often used in everyday French in the passé composé (present perfect) tense to describe an action that was completed in the past.
