Restez

Restez is a French term most often encountered as a verb form. Grammatically, it functions as the present indicative form of the verb rester for the second-person plural (vous restez, “you stay”) and as the imperative form (restez, “stay”) when addressing a group or a formal singular in a command. It appears in everyday phrases such as “Restez ici” (“Stay here”), “Restez calme” (“Stay calm”), or in customer-service prompts like “Restez en ligne” (“Please stay on the line”).

Etymology: Rester comes from Latin restāre, meaning to remain. The word is cognate with related forms in other Romance languages, all tracing back to the same Latin root.

As a proper noun, Restez has been adopted as a brand name and as a title in various Francophone media. Some companies, fashion lines, and artistic projects have used Restez as a concise, evocative label, but there is no single universally recognized entity by that name.

In usage today, Restez can appear in signage, marketing copy, and dialogue, reflecting its core sense of remaining in place or continuing to act. It is primarily a verb form in French, but as a capitalized proper noun it can function as a label in branding and media contexts.
