declaré

Déclaré is the past participle of the French verb déclarer, meaning to declare. In standard French, the masculine singular form is déclaré, with an acute accent on the first e. It is used both as a past participle in compound tenses and as an adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies. Examples include j'ai déclaré (I declared) and un revenu déclaré (declared income), des biens déclarés (declared goods), and la valeur déclarée (the declared value). The feminine form is déclarée, the plural masculine déclarés, and the plural feminine déclarées.

In administrative and legal contexts, déclaré commonly appears in phrases related to disclosure, taxation, and customs. For instance, on tax forms one reports the revenu déclaré, and at customs a valeur déclarée may be used to determine duties. The related noun is déclaration, and the verb from which this participle derives is déclarer.

Etymology and usage notes: déclaré derives from Latin declarare, via Old French declarer, retaining the sense of making something clear or disclosed. The accent on the e is important for correct pronunciation in French; in non-accented contexts, the form may appear as declaré in stylized branding or in environments with limited character support.
