Etymology

re- +‎ plonger

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ʁə.plɔ̃.ʒe/

Verb

replonger

1. (transitive) to plunge again or back
2. (transitive) to relapse

Conjugation

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written replonge- 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.
