rebasó

Rebasé is the past participle of the French verb rebaser, formed from the prefix re- and the verb baser, meaning to base or establish a base. The sense of rebaser is to base again, reset, or recalibrate a baseline or reference point. The term is used in several domains where figures or references are revised in light of new data or criteria.

In business, finance, and project management, rebaser describes establishing a new baseline for costs, timelines, or performance metrics. For example, costs may be rebasés onto a new reference framework, or hypotheses rebasées on updated data. In statistics and reporting, indicators can be rebasés when charts are recalibrated to a new baseline.

In information technology, rebaser is common in French-language discussions of version control. Rebasing refers to applying a set of commits on top of another base, and lexico-usage often states that “les commits ont été rebasés sur la branche principale.”

Notes and distinctions: rebasé should not be confused with basé, the past participle of baser meaning “based on.” Rebasé specifically signals that the base has been changed or reset.

Origin and grammar: rebaser comes from re- plus baser; when conjugated with avoir, the past participle rebasé may accord with a preceding direct object in compound tenses. In some contexts, especially in software development, rebasé can also appear as the descriptive form of a process (rebasing) rather than a noun.
