verdir

== French == === Etymology === From Old French verdir (12th c.), possibly inherited from Vulgar Latin *vir(i)dire, an alteration of Classical Latin viridēscere. Compare Italian inverdire, archaic Spanish enverdir (alongside enverdecer), Romanian înverzi. Equivalent to vert +‎ -ir (the -t in vert being due to final devoicing). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /vɛʁ.diʁ/ === Verb === verdir to turn green ==== 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-. ==== Related terms ==== vert verdissement === Further reading === “verdir”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 === Anagrams === driver
