German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German verwarn. Equivalent to ver- + wahren.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]verwahren (weak, third-person singular present verwahrt, past tense verwahrte, past participle verwahrt, auxiliary haben)
- (transitive) to keep safe, to store
- (reflexive) to protest, repudiate, object, reject (e.g., a statement, accusations, etc.) [with gegen (+ accusative) ‘something’]
Usage notes
[edit]Due to the semantic and phonetic similarity, verwahren in the sense of "to protest, repudiate" is frequently confused with the verb verwehren (“to refuse, deny, forbid”), e.g. Ich *verwehre mich gegen diese Anschuldigungen. instead of Ich verwahre mich gegen diese Anschuldigungen. ("I object against these accusations.")
