Introduction to the verb dédorer
The English translation of the French verb dédorer is “to gild” or “to regild.” It is pronounced as “day-doh-rer” in its infinitive form.
The word dédorer comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” which indicates reversal or undoing, and the word “dorer” which means “to gild.” Therefore, dédorer literally means “to degild” or “to ungild.”
In everyday French, dédorer is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses an action that would have happened in the past under certain conditions. This tense is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of the main verb.
