French

Etymology

From Old French retraire, from Latin retrahere, present active infinitive of retrahō.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ʁɘtʁɛʁ/
  • Rhymes: -ɛʁ

Verb

retraire

  1. (dated) to withdraw; to take out

Conjugation

This verb traditionally has no past historic or imperfect subjunctive. They would be formed on a -retray- root: *je retrayis, *que nous retrayissions etc. Forms using the ‘a’ endings of verbs in -er are now used when there is an unavoidable need to use these forms. The root -retrais- was used instead of -retray- in the 18th century, and remains in Swiss and Savoy dialects.
