Introduction to the verb déboussoler
The English translation of the French verb déboussoler is “to disorient” or “to unsettle.” It is pronounced as “day-boo-soh-lay” in its infinitive form.
Déboussoler comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” meaning “out” or “off” and “boussole” meaning “compass.” This suggests the idea of getting off course or losing one’s bearings.
