puisse
"Puísse" is the subjunctive form of "pouvoir," meaning "may" or "can" (used to express possibility or wish).
Here, 'puisse' is the subjunctive form of the verb 'pouvoir', used in a subordinate clause preceded by 'il faut que', indicating necessity or obligation.
Il faut que je puisse aller à la réunion demain.
It is necessary that I can attend the meeting tomorrow.
In this sentence, 'puisse' is used in the subjunctive mood following 'afin que', which introduces a purpose clause.
Je cherche une solution afin que tout le monde puisse participer.
I'm looking for a solution so that everyone can participate.
The term 'puisse-t-il' serves an optative function here, expressing a wish or hope.
