Usage notes
- This adjective usually retains many grammatical features from French, used postpositively and taking the forms manquée when modifying a feminine noun, manqués for a plural noun, and manquées for a feminine plural noun; as such, it is consciously regarded as a French term amidst English ones, and so occurs disproportionately more often in French contexts.
- Like most words which are spelled with diacritics, manqué is sometimes written without its acute accent as manque.
