Remonté is a French term derived from remonter, meaning to go back up or to rise. In practice, related forms such as remontée (feminine) and remonté (masculine past participle) appear in different grammatical contexts.

In everyday language, remontée often refers to a rise or recovery of something measurable, such as weather or economic indicators. Common expressions include la remontée des températures or la remontée des cours, indicating temperature increases or a rebound in stock prices or market values. It can also describe water or river levels that have risen, for example during heavy rain or floods.

In sports and competitive contexts, remontée designates a comeback or turnaround. A team or player that overcomes a deficit to win is said to have effectué une remontée spectaculaire. The term highlights the reversal of a negative trend into a positive result.

Overall, remonté/remontée conveys upward movement, whether literal (physically going up), numerical (rates or prices rising), or figurative (a comeback or revival). The exact nuance depends on the context and accompanying nouns.
