suggérée

Suggérée is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the French verb suggérer (to suggest). Used as an adjective, it means "proposed" or "put forward as a suggestion" and agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes. It is commonly found in formal or academic writing to indicate that a solution, hypothesis, idea, or proposal has been proposed by someone.

As an adjective, suggérée is used with feminine nouns, for example: une théorie suggérée (a proposed theory), une solution suggérée (a suggested solution), or les propositions suggérées (the proposed proposals). When the past participle is part of a relative clause or a compound tense, it agrees with the noun it modifies: Les idées que j'ai suggérées (the ideas that I suggested).

Grammatical notes: the masculine counterpart is suggéré and the plural forms are suggérés (m.) and suggérées (f. or f. pl.). The form suggérée may also appear in contexts where the participle serves as a passive-like descriptor, especially in noun phrases such as "ce qui a été suggéré" (what was suggested). In addition, because suggérer uses avoir as its auxiliary in compound tenses, the participle only agrees with a preceding direct object; with feminine nouns before the verb, agreement is straightforward, as in "la théorie que j'ai suggérée."

Etymology: suggérer comes from Old French suggerer, itself from Latin suggerere, and is cognate with the English word suggest.
