覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 anticipate「予想する」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 /t/ の後なので -ed は /ɪd/、全体は /ænˈtɪsɪpeɪtɪd/ と発音します。ante-「前に」と「つかむ」に由来する要素から、未来を心で先取りするイメージです。is anticipated の受け身で「予想される・見込まれる」と覚えましょう。
Connect anticipated with anticipate, “to expect something before it happens,” and add -ed. Because anticipate ends with the /t/ sound, the ending forms another syllable /ɪd/: /ænˈtɪsɪpeɪtɪd/. Its historical parts convey the image of taking or grasping something beforehand, which suits mentally grasping a future event. In the examples, use the passive pattern be anticipated: rain is anticipated, a delay is anticipated, and higher costs are anticipated. This wording is somewhat formal and common in forecasts, reports, and planning. Compared with hoped for, anticipated does not necessarily express desire; the expected event may be welcome, neutral, or undesirable.
例文

A small delay is anticipated at the airport.
空港では少し遅れが見込まれています。

anticipated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 anticipare から。ante-（前に）+ capere（つかむ）の合成で、「先につかむ＝先取りする」が原義。未来の出来事を心の中で先に捉えることから「予想する」の意味に発展。関連語: capable（つかめる＝有能な）、capture（捕らえる）。先手を打つイメージ。
Anticipated is the past tense and past participle of anticipate, formed with -ed. Anticipate comes from Latin anticipare, built from ante-, meaning “before,” and capere, meaning “to take or seize.” The original concept was taking something beforehand or acting in advance. This developed into the mental sense of considering or expecting an event before it occurs. In modern passive use, anticipated describes an outcome that is forecast, expected, or regarded as likely.
