reformulée

Reformulée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb reformuler, meaning “reformulated” or “reworded.” It is used as an adjective to describe content that has been restated in a different form, typically to clarify meaning or improve precision.

In academic and professional writing, a reformulée formulation signals that ideas have been restated without changing their essential substance. It is commonly applied to hypotheses, definitions, conclusions, or passages rewritten to address ambiguity, shift emphasis, or suit a different audience.

Grammatical notes: reformulée agrees with feminine singular nouns; masculine singular is reformulé; feminine plural reformulées; masculine plural reformulés.

Example: La version reformulée de l'hypothèse est plus précise. Après révision, la reformulée des conditions de l'expérience facilite l’interprétation des résultats.

Étymologie: reformulée derives from reformuler, itself from the prefix re- plus formuler, with roots related to the idea of shaping or presenting content in a new form.
