Coordonne

Coordonne is a French term that can refer to the verb form coordonner in the present tense, notably je coordonne and il coordonne. It denotes the action of organizing, aligning, or synchronizing people, tasks, or resources. In contexts such as project management and administration, coordonne is used to describe the act of coordinating.

Coordonnée is the related noun meaning coordinate; in mathematics, geography, and computer science, a coordinate specifies a position within a reference system, such as x, y, z in three-dimensional space, or latitude and longitude in geographic coordinates. The plural form is coordonnées. The term is part of the broader family including coordonner (to coordinate) and coordination (the act of coordinating).

Origin and cognates: The French coordonner derives from the idea of placing elements into a common order, itself from Latin coordinare. The English cognate is coordinate; both share a root relating to order and symmetry.

In computing and GIS, one often encounters coordonne or coordonnées in user interfaces, though the noun form coordonnée is more common for the term "coordinate".

Examples: "Elle coordonne les équipes du projet." "Les coordonnées géographiques de Paris sont 48.8566° N, 2.3522° E."
