覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 allocate に過去・過去分詞の -d を付けた allocated で、語尾は「ティド」に近く発音します。ラテン語の「所定の場所へ置く」という核から、allocated budget、allocated time、allocated seats のように、限りある資源を特定の人・目的・場所へ振り分け済みの場面を思い浮かべます。
Allocated is the past-tense and past-participle form of allocate. Because allocate already ends in e, only -d is added. Connect it with location: something allocated has been put into its designated “place” in a plan. An allocated budget is money assigned to a purpose, allocated time is a set period reserved for a task, and allocated seats are assigned to particular people. The word often suggests an official or planned distribution, unlike simply giving something away informally.
例文
The allocated seats are near the front.

We used the allocated time carefully.
私たちは割り当てられた時間を大切に使いました。
The team spent only the allocated budget.
そのチームは割り当てられた予算だけを使いました。

allocated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
allocated は allocate の過去分詞で、語源はラテン語 allocare「ある場所へ置く」です。ad-「…へ」+ locare「置く」から成り、「所定の場所へ置く」感覚が「割り当てる」になり、関連語に locate, local があります。
Allocated is formed from allocate plus the past-tense and participial ending -d. Allocate comes from Medieval Latin allocare, meaning “to place” or “assign,” built from ad-, “to,” and locare, “to place.” Locare derives from locus, “place.” The original idea of putting something in its proper place developed into the modern sense of assigning money, time, space, or other resources to a particular use.
