Introduction to the verb désenvelopper
The English translation of désenvelopper is “to unwrap” or “to open (a package)”. It is pronounced “day-zahn-vo-lo-pay”.
The word désenvelopper is a combination of the prefix “dé-” (meaning “un-” or “undo”) and the verb “envelopper” (meaning “to wrap”). It is a regular -er verb in French and is most commonly used in its infinitive form or in the Passé Antérieur tense.
In everyday French, désenvelopper in the Passé Antérieur tense is often used to describe an action that was completed in the past before another action. For example:

- Vous eûtes désenveloppé les documents avant de les remettre au directeur. (You had unwrapped the documents before giving them to the director.)
In each of these examples, the first action (désenvelopper) is completed in the past (Passé Antérieur) before the second action (arriver, commencer, remettre) takes place.
