Souhaitée

Souhaitée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb souhaiter, used as an adjective meaning "desired" or "wished-for." It agrees with the feminine noun it modifies; the masculine singular form is souhaité, the feminine plural souhaitées, and the masculine plural souhaités.

In modern usage, souhaitée appears in formal, administrative, academic, or business language to denote something that is intended, preferred, or sought after. It commonly precedes a noun, as in une date souhaitée (a desired date), un résultat souhaité (a desired outcome), or des conditions souhaitées (the desired conditions). The term can also occur after être in a predicative position, as in Cette solution est souhaitée par l'équipe (This solution is desired by the team), though the attributive use is more common.

The word derives from the noun souhait, meaning a wish, which itself comes from the verb souhaiter. Related forms include souhaité (masculine singular), souhaités (masculine plural), souhaitées (feminine plural), and the adjective souhaitable, meaning desirable, used in a broader and sometimes less specific sense.

Translations into English are typically "desired" or "wished-for," depending on context. Souhaitée is part of a broader French vocabulary for expressing preferences, aims, and objectives in precise or formal registers.
