celebró

Célébré is a French adjective and the past participle of the verb célébrer (to celebrate). In standard usage, célébré means celebrated or renowned, and it is used to describe people, works, or events that have gained notable recognition or have been honored in some way. The feminine form is célébrée, and the masculine and feminine plural forms are célébrés and célébrées, respectively.

Etymology and related forms: célébré derives from Latin celebrare through Old French. It is closely related to other Romance forms such as the Spanish célebre, though ceasing to be interchangeable with the separate French word célèbre, which means famous.

Usage notes: célébré is common in formal or literary contexts. It can describe a highly regarded author, composer, or artist (un auteur célébré), as well as events or ceremonies that were held in honor of someone or something (une cérémonie célébrée). In many contrasts, the synonym célèbre is more frequently used to mean simply famous in general, whereas célébré can carry a nuance of public recognition or ceremonial acknowledgment.

Examples: "un écrivain célébré par la critique" (a writer celebrated by critics), "une cérémonie célébrée en l'honneur du roi" (a ceremony celebrated in honor of the king).

See also: célébration (the act of celebrating), célébrer (to celebrate), célèbre (a different French adjective meaning famous, not a direct synonym).
