reportée

Reportée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb reporter, meaning to postpone or delay. When used as an adjective, it agrees with the noun it describes: une séance reportée, une date reportée, des réunions reportées. It can also appear in passive or semi-passive constructions, as in La réunion a été reportée.

In usage, the phrase la date reportée refers to a rescheduled date, while la séance reportée refers to a session that has been postponed. The form is common in calendar entries, schedules, and administrative prose. The masculine form is reporté, and the plural forms are reportés (masculine) or reportées (feminine). Agreement follows standard French gender rules.

Origin and related forms: reportée comes from the verb reporter, built from re- plus porter, with the sense of carrying back to a later time. It is distinct from différer, another verb meaning to defer, which can carry a slightly different formal or nuanced shading in some registers. The noun reportage, despite the similar spelling, means a news report or documentary work and is not related to postponement.

Examples: Le spectacle a été reporté à une date ultérieure. La date reportée est fixée au 12 décembre. La conférence que j'ai reportée a été bien accueillie par le public.
