覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 acknowledge「認める」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 /dʒ/ の後の -ed は /d/ と発音します。knowledge「知識」と綴りを結び付け、「知っている事実として受け入れる」と捉えましょう。an acknowledged expert なら「広く認められた専門家」、was acknowledged by ... なら「…に認められた」です。
Begin with acknowledge, meaning to recognize or openly accept something, and add -ed to form acknowledged. The final -ed is pronounced /d/ after the /dʒ/ sound. Link the spelling with knowledge: when something is acknowledged, people treat it as known, accepted, or recognized. An acknowledged expert is someone widely accepted as an expert; an acknowledged mistake is one that has been admitted; and “His skill was acknowledged by the team” uses the passive form. This range shares one core idea: recognition is made explicit. Do not confuse it with merely knowing privately, because acknowledgement often involves showing or stating that recognition.

acknowledged の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 oncnāwan（認識する）が語源。ac-（＝に向かって）+ knowledge（知識）の構造で、「知っていると認める」が核心。中英語期にラテン語の影響で綴りが変化。関連語: knowledge（知識）、acquaint（知り合いにする）。「知を受け入れる」から「公に認める」へ。
Acknowledged is the past tense and past participle of acknowledge. The verb developed in Middle English from forms related to aknowen, “to recognize or admit,” with ancestry connected to Old English oncnāwan, “to know or recognize.” Its spelling was later influenced by knowledge, making the modern connection between knowing and openly recognizing especially visible. Adding the regular suffix -ed produces acknowledged, used for something admitted, accepted, recognized, or formally confirmed.
