Introduction to the verb décolérer
The English translation of the French verb décolérer is “to calm down” or “to become calm.” It is pronounced as “dey-co-leh-rey.”
Décolérer is derived from the Latin word “collerium,” which means “collar” or “neck.” In Old French, collerier meant “to choke,” and over time, the meaning shifted to “to calm down” or “to soothe.” In modern French, décolérer specifically refers to the act of calming down from anger or agitation.
In everyday French, décolérer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is used to describe completed actions that occurred before another past action. It is formed with the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the simple past tense, followed by the past participle of décolérer (décoléré).
