abstraire

== French == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin abstrahere (“draw away from”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ap.stʁɛʁ/ === Verb === abstraire (very rare) to abstract (to separate; to remove; to take away) ==== Usage notes ==== This verb is more common in the compound tenses and infinitive than in actually conjugated forms. It is generally replaced by faire abstraction. ==== Conjugation ==== This verb traditionally has no past historic or imperfect subjunctive. They would be formed on a -abstray- root: *je abstrayis, *que nous abstrayissions 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 -abstrais- was used instead of -abstray- in the 18th century, and remains in Swiss and Savoy dialects. ==== Related terms ==== abstraction abstraire === Further reading === “abstraire”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 === Anagrams === abriteras, braserait, sabrerait
