Usage Note

Évolué describes a society, technology, or being that has reached a high level of development; it can also mean 'sophisticated' or 'progressive'. The feminine form is évoluée, and the verb is évoluer. In older colonial discourse the word carried a loaded meaning — learners should be aware of this historical baggage.

Examples

"C'est une société très évoluée."
