覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 accept「受け入れる」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。accept は /t/ で終わるため、-ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、accepted は /əkˈseptɪd/ になります。人が plan を受け入れた能動文と、idea や application が was accepted「受理された」という受動文の両方を対にして覚えます。
Start with accept, meaning to receive, approve, or agree to something, and add -ed to form accepted. Because accept ends in the /t/ sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving /əkˈseptɪd/. Learn the active and passive patterns together: the team accepted the plan means the team approved it, while the plan was accepted focuses on the plan receiving approval. Typical objects include an offer, application, proposal, explanation, and responsibility. This pattern helps separate accepted from excepted, which means excluded and has a different initial sound and meaning.

accepted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 accipere（受け取る）から。ad-（～へ）+ capere（取る）の合成で「自分の方へ取り込む」が原義。capable（有能な）、capture（捕獲）も同じ語根 capere を持つ。「受け入れる」という日本語訳そのままの構造。
Accepted is the past and past-participle form of accept, created with the regular ending -ed. Accept entered English through French and Latin acceptare, related to Latin accipere, “to receive.” Accipere combines ad-, “toward,” with capere, “to take,” suggesting taking something to oneself. The same Latin root appears in capture and capable. The modern verb developed senses including receiving, approving, admitting, and recognizing as valid.
