FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Entériner

Entériner: To validate or to ratify a piece of legislation.

As seen in: « La nouvelle première ministre québécoise Pauline Marois a indiqué jeudi 20 septembre que son gouvernement indépendantiste entérinait l’annulation de la hausse des frais universitaires décidée par le cabinet sortant, qui avait plongé la province dans un conflit social sans précédent. »

(Translation: “New Quebec premier Pauline Marois indicated Thursday, September 20th that her independentist government would ratify the cancellation of the increase of university tuition fees decided by the outgoing cabinet, which plunged the province into an unprecedented social conflict.”)
