Introduction to the verb démutiser
The English translation of the French verb démutiser is “to silence” or “to hush.” It is pronounced “day-moo-tee-zay” in the infinitive form.

In these examples, démutiser is used to describe an action that had been completed before another past action (parents coming home, meeting starting, lesson beginning). It is often used in a context of controlling noise or creating a quiet environment.
In conclusion, démutiser is a verb that means “to silence” or “to hush” and is most commonly used in the Plus-que-parfait tense in everyday French. Its origins can be traced back to the French prefixes and verb “mutiser.”
