fusionó

Fusioné is a French term that functions as the masculine singular past participle of the verb fusionner and as an adjective describing something that has been joined or merged. It denotes that a fusion has taken place, whether in a physical, social, or abstract sense.

In grammar, fusioné agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: un fichier fusioné, des fichiers fusionés; une entité fusionée, des entités fusionnées. When used with être, it behaves as a true past participle; with avoir, agreement follows the usual rule if a preceding direct object is present.

Common contexts for fusioné include business and industry, where it describes entities created by merger. For example, une société fusionée is a company that has merged with another to form a new legal entity. In scientific and engineering contexts, fusioné can refer to components or materials that have been joined by fusion, such as des pièces fusionées par fusion ou par soudure.

Etymology traces fusioné to the verb fusionner and the related noun fusion, itself derived from Latin roots associated with melting or pouring. The noun fusion remains the more common term for the act or result of combining, while fusioné is used when a specific object or entity is described as having undergone the process.
