expédierez

"Expédierez" is the second-person plural imperative form of the French verb *expédier*, meaning "to dispatch" or "to send off." This conjugation is used to give a command or make a polite request to multiple people, such as "You (all) should send this package." The verb itself originates from Latin *expedire*, combining *ex-* ("out of") and *pedem* ("foot"), originally indicating the removal of obstacles to travel.

In modern French, *expédier* is primarily used in formal or business contexts, often referring to the dispatch of goods, documents, or communications. It carries a sense of urgency or efficiency, distinguishing it from more general verbs like *envoyer* ("to send"). For example, one might say *"Expédiez ce colis immédiatement"* ("Send off this package immediately") to emphasize promptness.

The verb conjugates irregularly in the present tense, with the imperative form *expédiez* being distinct from the subjunctive or indicative moods. It is commonly paired with prepositions like *à* ("to") or *pour* ("for") to specify the recipient or purpose, as in *"Expédiez la lettre à l’adresse indiquée"* ("Send the letter to the address indicated").

While *expédier* is less frequently used in everyday speech, it remains relevant in professional and administrative writing. Its precise meaning and formal tone make it suitable for contexts where clarity and correctness are prioritized. The verb’s historical roots reflect broader linguistic shifts in French, where Latinate terms often carry specialized or elevated usage.
