paramètrent

Paramètrent is the third-person plural present indicative form of the French verb paramétrer, meaning they parameterize or configure a system by setting its parameters. The form is commonly used in information technology, data analysis, engineering, and product development, where devices, models, or processes are adjusted through parameter settings.

Paramétrer is derived from paramètre (parameter) and the -er verb suffix. The noun paramètre comes from Late Latin and Greek roots referring to a measure or boundary; the verb extension to “to parameterize” arose with the adoption of mathematical and computational terminology in modern French. The term is widely used in technical contexts and is frequently translated as “to parameterize” in English.

The standard present-tense conjugation of paramétrer includes: je paramètre, tu paramètes, il paramètre, nous paramétrons, vous paramétrez, ils paramètrent. In this article, paramètrent specifically denotes the third-person plural form. Example: Ils paramètrent les paramètres du système avant le déploiement.

Usage notes: paramètrent appears with direct objects such as les paramètres or un modèle; common constructions include paramétrer un système, paramétrer un algorithme, ou paramétrer des conditions expérimentales. The related noun is paramètre; common related terms include paramétrage (configuration) and paramétration or paramétrisation (the process of parameterizing).
