violente

Violente is a form found in several Romance languages that functions as an adjective related to violence. In French, violente is the feminine singular form of the adjective violent, used to describe feminine nouns, as in une tempête violente or une action violente. The masculine form is violent, and the feminine singular ending reflects standard gender agreement in French.

In Italian, violente is the feminine plural form of the adjective violent and is used with feminine plural nouns, for example reazioni violente or parole violente. Italian adjectives ending in -e typically have a plural -i form for both genders, so violente corresponds to feminine plural usage.

Etymology and linguistic notes: both French and Italian forms ultimately derive from Latin violentus, through early Romance adaptations such as Old French violent. The modern forms illustrate how gender and number agreement reshapes the same root across languages. While violente appears as a common grammatical form in these languages, it is not a standalone noun in standard usage.

Other considerations: outside its role as a grammatical form, violente is not widely used as an independent term in everyday English-language lexicons. It may appear in multilingual texts, linguistic discussions, or as part of proper names or titles borrowed from French or Italian, where the word keeps its adjective meaning.
