entlieben

== German == === Etymology === From ent- (“un-, dis-”) +‎ lieben (“to love”). Attested since at least the 17th century, but usually in translation or as an ad-hoc antonym of verlieben. Not in the older dictionaries. Somewhat more regular use seems to begin only in the later 20th century. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɛntˈliːbən/, [ʔɛntˈliː.bən], [-bm̩] === Verb === entlieben (weak, third-person singular present entliebt, past tense entliebte, past participle entliebt, auxiliary haben) (reflexive) to fall out of love, to unlove, to stop being in love [with von (+ dative) ‘with someone’] Antonym: verlieben ==== Usage notes ==== The verb is generally understood, but fairly infrequent. It is usually more natural to express the notion differently (e.g. ich bin nicht mehr verliebt, liebe nicht mehr, meine Verliebtheit/Liebe ist weg, etc.). ==== Conjugation ==== === Further reading === “entlieben” in Duden online “entlieben” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache
