Résumant

Résumant is the present participle of the French verb résumer, meaning summarizing. In French, it functions as a participle and can also act as an adjectival modifier. It is used to indicate that content or action is connected to the act of summarizing, often in relation to another noun or clause.

As a participial form, résumant is commonly found in phrases such as résumant les points clés (summarizing the key points) or in noun phrases like un texte résumant les conclusions (a text summarizing the conclusions). The gerund form en résumant expresses the manner in which something is done, for example: En résumant, il gagne du temps. When used adjectivally, résumant can agree with the noun in gender and number, yielding forms such as résumante (feminine singular), résumants (masculine plural), and résumantes (feminine plural): une étude résumante des résultats, des passages résumants, des sections résumantes, etc.

In translation, résumant corresponds to the English "summarizing." It is commonly encountered in academic, journalistic, and formal writing to describe processes, texts, or analyses that present a summary. It is distinct from résumé, which in French typically means a summary or, in other contexts, a resume or CV; the two terms are unrelated in meaning though they share a linguistic root.
