stockés

Stockés is a French term that functions as the masculine plural past participle of the verb stocker, which means to store or keep in storage. The word can also serve as an adjective meaning stored, kept for later use. The corresponding forms are stocké (masc. sg), stockée (fem. sg), stockés (masc. pl), and stockées (fem. pl). As a participle, stocké agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies when used adjectivally, for example: des produits stockés (masc. pl) or des données stockées (fem. pl).

In compound tenses, stocké appears with an auxiliary verb. With avoir, the past participle usually does not agree with the subject, but it agrees with a preceding direct object. For instance: J'ai stocké les fichiers (no agreement with subject). However: Les fichiers que j'ai stockésont bien stockés, where the direct object "fichiers" precedes the participle and triggers agreement. In many contexts, stockés functions as an attribute describing items that are kept in storage rather than in active use.

Common contexts for stockés include logistics, inventory management, and computing. In logistics, items stockés are goods kept in a warehouse for future distribution. In computing or data management, données stockées refer to data that have been saved to a storage medium, such as a hard drive or cloud storage.
