Introduction to the verb désengager
The English translation of the French verb désengager is “to disengage” or “to release”. It is pronounced as “day-zahn-ga-zhay” in its infinitive form.
Désengager comes from the Middle French word “desengager”, which is a combination of “des” (meaning “from”) and “engager” (meaning “to engage”). It was first used in the 15th century and has since evolved to take on its current meaning.
In everyday French, désengager is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express actions that may or may not have taken place in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Subjonctif Présent tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
