Délargit

Délargit is the third-person singular present indicative form of the French verb délargir. The verb délargir is transitive and means to widen, broaden, or extend the size, scope, or range of something. It can refer to physical dimensions as well as to more figurative extensions, such as widening access, extending authority, or broadening the field of action.

Etymology and usage notes: délargir is formed from the prefix dé- attached toélargir, which itself means to widen. The nominal counterpart is délargissement, referring to the act or result of widening or extending. In practice, délargir is used in formal or policy-oriented contexts as well as in journalism when describing changes that increase the reach or flexibility of measures, permissions, or opportunities. The present tense forms follow the regular -ir verb pattern, with il délargit as the usual 3rd person singular form.

Typical contexts include expanding the scope of legislation, widening access to programs or information, or enlarging physical dimensions. For example, on a legislative reform, one might say that the measure délargit certain prerogatives, or délargit l’accès à des ressources. While closely related to élargir, délargir often conveys a sense of deliberate widening under specific conditions or authorities.
