dérailer

dérailer
(dé-rè-lé) v. n.
Sortir des rails, en parlant d'un convoi sur un chemin de fer.
   Ce mot est écrit d'ordinaire dérailler, et prononcé dé-ra-llé, ll mouillées ; mais c'est une erreur, puisqu'il vient de l'anglais rail, prononcé en anglais rèl. Il vaut mieux suivre la prononciation anglaise, que cette mauvaise prononciation qui rapproche dérailer de railler, et ne pas tenir compte de l'orthographe, pas plus qu'on ne fait pour keepsake qu'on prononce non comme il est écrit, mais à l'anglaise, ki-psè-k'.
   Dé.... préfixe, et angl. rail, rail de chemin de fer (voy. rail).
