ériger

French

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin ērigere. Compare Old French erdre, which was inherited.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /e.ʁi.ʒe/
  • (file)

Verb

ériger

  1. (transitive) to erect

Conjugation

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written érige- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
