annoncé

Annoncé is the past participle of the French verb annoncer, meaning "to announce." It forms compound tenses with the auxiliary avoir (for example: j'ai annoncé, tu as annoncé, il a annoncé). The participle can agree with preceding direct objects when used with avoir, as in les nouvelles qu'il a annoncées (nouvelles is feminine plural, hence the agreement). In the passive voice or with être, it typically agrees with the subject, as in Les nouvelles ont été annoncées.

As an adjective, annonçé describes something that has been announced or proclaimed and agrees with the noun it modifies: des résultats annoncés, une information annoncée. The form is commonly used in journalism, reports, and political or administrative communications to indicate that information has already been made public.

Pronunciation is typically [a.nɔ̃.se]. The word derives from the verb annoncer, itself from Old French anoncer/anoncier, ultimately from Latin annuntiare, meaning to announce or report news.

Related forms include the present participle annonçant and the infinitive annoncer; the past participle is également used in various tenses and constructions with different auxiliary verbs depending on voice and syntactic position.

In summary, annoné or annoncé serves as the past participle of annoncer, with roles in tense formation, adjectival modification, and agreement rules that reflect typical French verb and adjective concord.
