Recensé

Recensé is the past participle of the French verb recenser, meaning to count, register, or survey. It can be used as an adjective or in compound verb forms. The masculine singular is recensé, the feminine singular recensée, the masculine plural recensés, and the feminine plural recensées. As a participle, it generally indicates that someone or something has been counted or recorded in an official tally.

Etymology: Recenser derives from the Latin censere "to estimate" or "to assess," via Old French. The noun recensement denotes the census or count itself; recensé describes items or people that have been included in such a tally.

Usage: In demographic or administrative contexts, recensé refers to those counted or registered in a census or registry. Examples: les habitants recensés lors du recensement; les biens recensés dans l'inventaire. In journalism or research, expressions like « les faits recensés » mean the recorded or collected data. The term emphasizes inclusion in an official count rather than mere observation.
