fabriqués

Fabriqués is the masculine plural past participle of the French verb fabriquer, meaning to make or to manufacture. It functions both as an adjective meaning made or manufactured and as part of verb phrases in which the past participle is used with the auxiliary avoir (as in the passé composé). When used as an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: des objets fabriqués (masculine plural), des pièces fabriquées (feminine plural), un produit fabriqué (masculine singular), une pièce fabriquée (feminine singular).

In everyday usage, fabriqués describes items or goods that have been produced or constructed. Common expressions include produits fabriqués, objets fabriqués, and pièces fabriquées. The form also appears in clauses with preceding direct objects, where the past participle agrees with the object: Les pièces que nous avons fabriquées.

Etymologically, fabriquer derives from the French word fabrique, itself from Latin fabrica meaning workshop or craft. The related noun fabrique denotes a factory or workshop, while fabrication refers to the process of making something.

Semantically, fabriqués translates to manufactured or produced in English and is widely used in commerce, labeling, and industry to indicate goods that have undergone production. It is distinct from other terms like façonné (shaped) or usiné (machined) in that it covers the broader notion of manufacture rather than a specific method. While possible to encounter fabriqués as a noun in some contexts, it is more natural in French to use produits fabriqués or objets fabriqués.
