Usage Note

Lister is a direct borrowing from English 'to list' and is a neologism that entered everyday French in the late 20th century. It is fully conjugated as a regular -er verb. Purists sometimes prefer dresser une liste or énumérer, but lister is now standard in office, digital, and conversational contexts.
