It is a word in French meaning 'high performing'. For example you could talk about a car engine being 'performant or the adjective could be used to describe an employee or student who achieves excellent results.

The closest word is performer, one who acts, or performs. There is no such word in the dictionary as performant.

Either in my English and either in my dictionary, "performance" is it a word, but not the one you are making reference, What are you trying to say?

Yes it is and no it shouldn't be.
It means performer, a bit redundant don't you think?

No not in my dictionary - and no it should not be, as there are other perfectly adequate words to describe whatever is in your head.
