révisé

Révisé is a French term that functions as the past participle of the verb réviser and as an adjective meaning revised or reviewed. As a verb form, révisé appears in compound tenses with the auxiliary avoir (for example, j'ai révisé le chapitre) or, in some constructions, with être. The past participle agrees in gender and number with a preceding direct object: les notes qu'elle a révisées (feminine plural) or le chapitre que nous avons révisé (masculine singular).

As an adjective, révisé describes content that has been checked, updated, or corrected. It is commonly used in publishing, education, administration, and legal or official documents. Examples include une édition révisée, un manuel révisé et corrigé, or une version révisée d'un document officiel, indicating that the material supersedes a prior version.

Forms and agreement: masculine singular révisé, feminine singular révisée; masculine plural révisés, feminine plural révisées. The form chosen depends on the gender and number of the noun it qualifies or on the position of the direct object in a sentence when used with the verb réviser.

Etymology: the term derives from the verb réviser, built with the prefix re- indicating repetition or review of content. In practice, révisé appears across contexts where accuracy, currency, or correction is important, from classroom notes to published manuals.
