Introduction to the verb déparaffiner
The English translation of the French verb déparaffiner is “to de-wax.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “day-pah-rah-fee-nay.”
Déparaffiner comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” meaning “down” or “away” and the word “paraffine” meaning “paraffin” or “wax.” It is most often used in the context of removing wax or paraffin from a substance, such as in the refining process of oils or in cleaning products.
