proscriviez

Proscriviez is a conjugated form of the French verb proscrire, meaning to outlaw or to prohibit. Specifically, proscriviez is the second-person plural form and appears in two tenses: the imperfect indicative (vous proscriviez) and the present subjunctive (que vous proscriviez). Because the two tenses share the same spelling in modern French, context is required to determine the intended meaning.

Etymology and usage: The verb proscrire comes from Latin proscribere, literally “to write in public” or “to outlaw.” In French, proscrire means to ban, forbid, or condemn, often in formal or historical contexts. The related noun proscription refers to the act or process of outlawing or listing people to be punished or excluded, a term frequently found in legal, political, or historical writing.

Conjugation and related forms: Proscrire is a regular -re verb with typical endings for its class. Common related forms include proscris, proscrit, proscrivons, proscrivez, et proscrit(s) as the past participle used in compound tenses. The form proscriviez, like proscriviez in other moods and tenses, is distinguished by its grammatical context rather than by a unique meaning.
