taillader

slash

verb tah-yah-DEH Rare

Usage Note

Taillader means to make repeated slashing cuts with a blade, implying jagged or violent action — more brutal than the simple couper or tailler. It is mostly literary or journalistic; in everyday speech entailler covers a single notch. The noun taillade (a gash) is rarer but exists.

Examples

"Il a tailladé le tissu avec un cutter."

Natural Translation

He slashed the fabric with a box cutter.
