regroupant

Regroupant is the present participle of the French verb regrouper, meaning to bring together or to regroup. In French grammar, the present participle can function as an adjective or as part of a gerundial construction with en. As an adjective, regroupant describes something that regroups or consolidates elements; in a gerundial sense, it indicates the manner of an action, as in en regroupant les ressources.

Form and related terms: Regroupant is formed from the stem regrouper plus the suffix -ant. Related forms include regroupement, a noun meaning regrouping, consolidation, or merger, and regroupé, the past participle meaning regrouped. The noun regroupement is commonly used in contexts such as corporate mergers, administrative consolidations, or data integration.

Usage and nuance: Regroupant appears mainly in formal, written French, including technical, legal, and administrative texts. It helps express a process that brings together multiple elements. In everyday speech, speakers more often use the verb regrouper or other constructions rather than the participle itself.

Examples: Un système regroupant des données provenant de plusieurs sources. L’entreprise a réduit les coûts en regroupant les ressources disponibles. En regroupant les informations, le comité a obtenu une vue d’ensemble plus cohérente. In English, the sense is typically translated as regrouping or gathering, depending on the context.
