havir

== French == === Etymology === Inherited from Middle French havir, from Old French havir (“to desire ardently”), either from Old French have ("pale; dull"; > French hâve) or from Frankish *haiju (“heat, burning”), akin to Old High German heiēn (“to dry; scorch; desiccate; singe”). === Pronunciation === === Verb === havir to singe Synonyms: brûler, roussir ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular verb of the second conjugation, like finir, choisir, and most other verbs with infinitives ending in -ir. One salient feature of this conjugation is the repeated appearance of the infix -iss-. === Further reading === “havir”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
