agregues

Agregues is a term that appears in limited use within Romance-language contexts to denote individuals who have joined or been incorporated into a group, association, or collective. In sociolinguistic or legal-writing contexts, it may function as a noun referring to members or affiliates of an organization, sometimes equivalent to “associates” or “members” in English. The exact meaning and scope of the word vary by dialect and region, and there is no single, universally accepted definition in English-language references.

Etymology and related forms stem from the broader family of words derived from aggregare or agregar, meaning to bring together or to add. The form agregues or agregues-like variants may appear in dialectal or regional texts, reflecting how languages adapt the root to denote groups formed through aggregation.

Usage and notes: Because agregues is not a standardized term in most reference works, its appearance is sporadic and highly context-dependent. When encountered, it typically signals individuals who have been added to a group for a specific purpose—such as a cooperative, a committee, or a data-collection frame—rather than a formal title or office. The precise semantics are shaped by the regulatory or organizational context in which it occurs and by the particular dialect or language variety of the source.
