enrager

French

Etymology

First attested in Old French, corresponding to en- + rage + -er.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɑ̃.ʁa.ʒe/

Verb

enrager

  1. (obsolete) to have rabies
  2. to enrage, anger, infuriate
  3. to inflame, arouse

Conjugation

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written enrage- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a “soft” /ʒ/ and not a “hard” /ɡ/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
