FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Se déchaîner

Se déchaîner: To unchain or unleash (lit), to rage against or act violently towards (fig).

As seen in: « Pendant qu’à New York les discussions patinent au Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies sur un nouveau projet de résolution, le régime de Bachar al-Assad continue de se déchaîner contre la population. »

(Translation: “While discussions in New York are going nowhere at the United Nations Security Council on a new resolution, Bachar al-Assad’s regime continues to unleash violence on its population.”)
