See also: deroger

French

Verb

déroger

  1. to repeal (a law), to break away (from a tradition)

Conjugation

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