estanchier

Etymology

Uncertain; possibly from a Vulgar Latin *stānticāre < stānticus < Latin stāns, stāntis. Perhaps related to Proto-Indo-European *h₁sh₂-én-, oblique stem of *h₁ésh₂r̥ (“blood”).

Verb

estanchier

1. 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.
