FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Dénicher

Dénicher: Literally, to remove eggs from a bird’s nest.  Can be used figuratively in the sense of forcing someone out of hiding, or uncovering hidden information.

As seen in: « Les libéraux devraient avoir honte, s’excuser de leur responsabilité dans le scandale de la construction et mener une enquête au sein du parti pour dénicher d’éventuels complices, soutient le Parti québécois (PQ). »

(Translation: “The Liberals ought to be ashamed, apologize for their responsibility in the construction scandal and hold an enquiry within the party to uncover eventual accomplices, the Parti québécois maintains.”)
