parcourt

Parcourt is a term that appears in French and may refer to a verb form or, more rarely, to a proper name. In grammar, parcourt is the third-person singular present indicative form of parcourir, the verb meaning to travel through, to cover a distance, or to go across. It is used to describe movement through space or through a body of material, as in “Il parcourt le pays en voiture” (He travels across the country by car) or “Elle parcourt les dossiers” (She goes through the files).

The verb parcourir derives from par- (through) and courir (to run), with the noun parcours related in meaning and etymology. Parcours denotes a course, route, or itinerary and is widely used in contexts such as travel, education, or sports.

As a proper noun, Parcourt is uncommon and may appear as a surname or as a place name in some French-speaking regions. It does not correspond to a widely recognized city or administrative division in standard geographic listings. The spelling Parcourt is often contrasted with Parcours, the more common noun meaning course or program.
