être

Syllable Decomposition

être

from Old French estre (to be), from Vulgar Latin essĕre (to be), a reworked form by analogy of the classical Latin esse (to be), as well as from Old French ester, from Latin sto (to stand). The latter only remains in the participles été, étant and the conjugations of the imperfect indicative, as well as in the now obsolete expressions ester en justice or ester en jugement.
