The English translation of the French verb décacheter is “to unseal” or “to open” (as in unsealing an envelope or opening a package). It is pronounced as “day-ka-shay-tay”.
The verb décacheter comes from the French prefix “dé-” meaning “undo” or “remove” and the verb “cacher” meaning “to hide”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to talk about actions that were completed in the past.
