administrée

Administrée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb administrer. In usage, it functions as an adjective meaning that something has been administered, most often referring to medication, a dose, or a treatment that has been given to a patient. The term appears frequently in medical notes, prescriptions, and pharmacology to describe what was delivered or delivered to a patient.

Forms and agreement. The complete set of forms is: administré (masculine singular), administrée (feminine singular), administrés (masculine plural), and administrées (feminine plural). When the participle appears with the auxiliary àvoir, it agrees with a preceding direct object, as in les doses qu’elle a administrées. When used as a pure adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies, as in la dose administrée or les traitements administrés.

Usage notes. Administrée is not typically used as a noun; rather, it remains a participle or adjective. It is especially common in clinical contexts to specify that a dose, a drug, or a therapy has been administered. The term can also appear in archival or administrative records documenting patient care.

Etymology. It derives from the French verb administrer, itself from Latin administrare, formed from ad- “to” and ministrare “to tend, serve, manage.” The feminine form reflects standard gender agreement in French grammar.
