proposée

Proposée is the feminine form of the past participle of the verb proposer, which means to propose. Used as an adjective, it translates to "proposed" and agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. It is common in formal or administrative language to describe measures, propositions, laws, or plans that have been introduced for consideration, for example: une loi proposée par le gouvernement, la proposition proposée par le comité.

Grammatical note: like other participles formed with the auxiliary avoir, the participle agrees in gender and number with a preceding direct object in compound tenses. Therefore, in la proposition que j'ai proposée, the form is proposée, reflecting the feminine singular noun proposition. When the associated noun is masculine, the form is proposé.

Usage: proposée is typically not used as a standalone noun; it functions as a participial adjective. It frequently appears in legal, political, or academic contexts to indicate that something has been submitted or advanced for consideration and may be subject to approval, modification, or rejection.

Etymology: proposée derives from the verb proposer, which itself comes from Latin proponere, meaning to put forward or offer. The feminine form aligns with French gender agreement rules for past participles used as adjectives.
