Introduction to the verb décaler
The English translation of the French verb décaler is “to shift” or “to move.” It is pronounced as “dey-kah-leh” in its infinitive form.
Décaler comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” which means “away” or “out” and the verb “caler” which means “to slot” or “to fit.” Together, décaler can be translated as “to unslot” or “to un-fit,” reflecting the action of shifting or moving something out of its original position.
