覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
admitted は admit の過去形・過去分詞で、短母音＋子音で終わるため t を重ねて -ed を付けます。-ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。ここでは admitted his mistake や admitted that ... のように、隠したい事実や誤りを本当だと受け入れて公に認めた状態・行為を表すと覚えましょう。
Admitted is the past tense and past participle of admit. Because admit ends with a stressed short vowel followed by t, double the final t before adding -ed: admit becomes admitted. The ending is pronounced /ɪd/. In the sense used here, imagine a person who has stopped denying a mistake and has openly accepted it as true. Typical patterns are admitted his mistake, admitted the problem, and admitted that she was late. This memory separates the acknowledgment sense from another common meaning of admitted, “allowed to enter,” as in admitted to a hospital.
例文
He admitted his mistake.
彼は自分の間違いを認めました。
She admitted that she was late.
彼女は遅れたことを認めました。
The driver admitted the problem with the car.
運転手は車の問題を認めました。

admitted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 admittere（ad-「〜へ」+ mittere「送る、放つ」）に由来し、「中に入れる→受け入れる→認める」と意味が拡張した。関連語: admission（入場、承認）、permit（許可する、per+mittere）。原義は「中へ送り込む」で、事実を心の中に受け入れることから「認める」の意味に。
Admit comes from Latin admittere, formed from ad-, “to” or “toward,” and mittere, “to send or let go.” Its early sense concerned allowing someone or something to enter; from the broader idea of letting something in, it developed the meaning of accepting a fact as true. Admitted is formed by doubling the final t of admit and adding -ed, pronounced /ɪd/.
