intégrées

Intégrées is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the French verb intégrer. It functions as both a past participle and an adjective meaning “integrated” or “built-in,” used to describe things that have been incorporated into a larger whole or embedded within a system. The masculine plural form is intégrés, and the feminine singular form is intégrée.

Common contexts

In technology, business, and design, intégrées describes products or processes that combine multiple components into a single unit. Examples include des solutions intégrées (integrated solutions), des systèmes intégrés (integrated systems), and des composants intégrés (embedded components). In organizational or social contexts, it can describe teams or processes that have been incorporated into a broader structure, e.g., une équipe intégrée (an integrated team).

Grammar and usage notes

As a past participle used with être in passive constructions, intégrées agrees with the subject: les données intégrées ont été vérifiées (the integrated data have been verified). With avoir, it agrees with a preceding direct object: les données qu’elles ont intégrées (the data they have integrated). When used as an attributive adjective after a feminine plural noun, it remains in the form intégrées, as in données intégrées.

Etymology and related terms

Intégrer comes from French, ultimately from Latin integrus meaning “whole” or “complete.” Related terms include intégration (integration), and intégré/e (the adjective form meaning integrated).

In sum, intégrées denotes things that have been incorporated into a cohesive whole, commonly used across technology, business, and design to describe built-in or unified components and systems.
