The English translation of the French verb désurchauffer is “to overheat” or “to overheat (something)”. It is pronounced “day-zur-shoh-fay”.
The word désurchauffer is a combination of the prefix “dés-” meaning “dis-” or “un-” and the verb “surchauffer” meaning “to overheat”. It is derived from the Old French word “surchauffe” which comes from the Latin word “super” meaning “over” and “calefacere” meaning “to heat”.

It is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of désurchauffer (désurchauffé).

Example 3: Nous aurions dû le rappeler de ne pas désurchauffer l’appareil avant de partir. (We should have reminded him not to overheat the device before leaving.)
