corroborées

Corroborées is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the French verb corroborer. In usage, it functions as an adjective meaning “that has been corroborated” and is used to describe information, evidence, or claims that have been independently supported by additional sources.

Grammatical notes: The masculine form is corroboré; the feminine singular is corroborée; the feminine plural is corroborées. It agrees with the noun it modifies, most commonly with feminine plural nouns such as informations, preuves, éléments. The verb corroborer comes from Latin corroborare, meaning “to strengthen.”

Usage: In legal, journalistic, and academic contexts, corroborées signals that assertions have gained validation beyond their initial presentation. It contrasts with uncorroboré or non corroborées where no independent confirmation is assumed. The term is often paired with sources, documents, testimonies, or analyses that provide mutual support.

Examples: Des informations corroborées par des documents officiels; des preuves corroborées par des analyses indépendantes; des témoignages corroborés par des enregistrements. Notez que l’accord se fait avec le nom: informations corroborées, témoignages corroborés.

Limitations: La corroboration renforce la crédibilité, mais elle ne garantit pas la vérité. La force d’un élément corroboré dépend de la fiabilité des sources et de leur indépendance, ainsi que du contexte et de la méthode de vérification employée.
