Is "Adossee" a word / an English word?

The word sounds really familiar. Like a portfolio, or document or such. However, I don't find the word in any English dictionaries. I do find a lot for "Adossée" with an accent character online which I assume is French. Could this be one of those words English has adopted? What's the meaning of this word?

Thanks Ruchele. I just realized too I was confusing this with "dossier". Guess I was thinking "A dossier". Laugh.

Dossier: French, bundle of documents labeled on the back, dossier, from dos back, from Latin dorsum
