I notice an interesting remark made by traviskidd :
-----------------
*Préciser is a very useful verb, but unfortunately I can't think of a precise English equivalent! (Yes, I've just used the word precise, but that's an adjective!)
-----------------
I believed until now that the verb to precise would exist.
Can't we find a equivalent as "to specify" or "to clarify" ?

(se) préciser : to take shape ?
Définition possible :
Prendre forme, devenir plus évident.

Voilà les différentes traductions possibles du verbe "préciser" en fonction du contexte !
I verbe transitif
1 (ajouter) [personne, rapport] to add : il a précisé que son pays était déçu = he added that his country was disappointed
2 (faire état de) [personne, communiqué] to state : préciser ses intentions = to state one's intentions
3 (indiquer avec précision) to specify [lieu, date, nombre] : préciser si/pourquoi/comment = to specify whether/why/how
4 (rendre plus précis) to clarify [idées, programme].
II se préciser verbe pronominal
1 (se concrétiser)
* [danger, avenir, menace] to become clearer;
* [projet, mariage, voyage] to take shape
2 (devenir apparent) [forme, réalité] to become clear.

Thanks rosminet. You hit the target. That's remind me the apple advertising: Think different!

Yes I agree rosminet! Thanks for avoir précisé all of this!
Yet, see my response to mariet under the topic CHEZ (the same topic where I posted the original remark that yannloic quotes above).
