saccager

saccager

French

Verb

saccager

  1. (transitive) to sack, pillage
  2. (transitive, figuratively) to ransack

Conjugation

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