incorporó

Incorporé is a French term formed from the verb incorporer, and functions as both a past participle and an adjective. It denotes something that has been included, integrated, or combined into a larger whole. The form can be masculine (incorporé) or feminine (incorporée) depending on the gender of the noun it describes.

In culinary use, incorporated describes ingredients that have been added and evenly distributed into a mixture. For example, one speaks of “les ingrédients incorporés dans la pâte” or “le beurre incorporé au mélange,” indicating thorough integration rather than mere addition on the surface.

In legal and business language, incorporated refers to an entity that has been formed as a corporation through formal registration or chartering. A company may be described as “société incorporée,” and the process is called incorporation. In this sense, the term signals that the business has been granted legal personhood and, in many jurisdictions, limited liability for its owners.

In science and manufacturing, incorporated can describe additives or components that have been embedded within a material, such as “un colorant incorporé dans le polymère.” This usage emphasizes that the additive is an integral part of the matrix rather than a surface coating.

Grammatical notes: the past participle incorporé agrees with the direct object in compound tenses when the object precedes the verb, and it generally functions as an adjective when describing a noun. The related noun form is incorporation.
