Identifiée

Identifiée is the feminine form of the past participle of the French verb identifier. In grammar, it can function as a past participle in compound tenses or as an adjective. When used as an adjective, it describes a feminine singular noun that has been identified, recognized, or established as belonging to a particular identity. For example: "la personne identifiée" or "l'objet identifié." In passive or formal constructions it often appears with être or in the passive voice: "la personne a été identifiée par les autorités."

The verb identifier is derived from Latin identitas, via the French form identifier. The feminine form identifiée adds a final -e to mark feminine gender; plural forms are identifiées (feminine plural). This morphology is typical of French participles and adjectives, which agree in gender and number with the noun they describe.

Identifiée is common in administrative, legal, law-enforcement, or data-processing contexts, where a subject or item has been confirmed as matching a record or identity. It is used in phrases such as "personne identifiée," "véhicule identifié," or "registre d'identification." The term is often contrasted with phrases indicating that a subject has not yet been identified, such as "non identifiée," depending on context.

Related terms include identifiant (identifier, as a noun), identité (identity), identification (the process of identifying), and identique (identical). The word identifiée participates in standard French gender and number agreement and is part of common vocabulary in law, administration, and data management.
