estanchier

== Old French == === Etymology === Uncertain; possibly from a Vulgar Latin *stānticāre < *stānticus < Latin stāns, stāntis. === Verb === estanchier to staunch (stop the flow, especially of blood) ==== Conjugation ==== This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -ier, with a palatal stem. These verbs are conjugated mostly like verbs in -er, but there is an extra i before the e of some endings. In the present tense an extra supporting e is needed in the first-person singular indicative and throughout the singular subjunctive, and the third-person singular subjunctive ending -t is lost. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide. ==== Descendants ==== → English: staunch French: étancher
