incluant

Incluant is a French term meaning "including" or "that includes." It is the present participle of the verb inclure and functions as an adjective or as part of a participial phrase to indicate contents or scope within a noun phrase.

In practical use, incluent is employed to describe what is encompassed by a noun, particularly in commercial, administrative, and descriptive writing. Common constructions include phrases such as prix incluant les taxes (a price including taxes), une liste incluant plusieurs pays (a list including several countries), or un contrat incluant toutes les clauses (a contract including all clauses). The form can appear after the noun it modifies, serving to specify inclusions.

Etymology and related forms: Incluant derives from inclure, which itself comes from Latin includere, meaning to shut in or enclose. The term shares its root with the English verb include and related forms such as inclusion and inclusive.
