forcener

French

Etymology

From Middle French, from Old French forsener (“to be mad with rage”) (compare Old French forsenede (“one who has lost his mind”)), from for- + sen (“sense, reason, mind”), from Frankish *sinn, *sinno (“sense, mind, judgement”), from Proto-Germanic *sinnaz (“sense, mind, wisdom, meaning”), from Proto-Indo-European *sent- (“to feel”). Cognate with German Sinn (“sense, meaning, mind”), Dutch zin (“sense, desire”). Related to asséner. More at sense.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /fɔʁ.sə.ne/

Verb

forcener

  1. to become enraged

Conjugation

This verb is conjugated mostly like the regular -er verbs (parler and chanter and so on), but the -e- /ə/ of the second-to-last syllable becomes -è- /ɛ/ when the next vowel is a silent or schwa -e-. For example, in the third-person singular present indicative, we have il forcène rather than *il forcene. Other verbs conjugated this way include lever and mener. Related but distinct conjugations include those of appeler and préférer.
