覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
appreciate「感謝する・価値を認める」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。語末 /t/ の後なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。Your help is appreciated. の受け身は、相手を直接主語にせず「ご協力をありがたく思います」と丁寧に伝える定型表現として覚えます。
Connect appreciated with appreciate, “to recognize value or feel grateful for something.” Add -ed; because appreciate ends in /t/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, creating an extra syllable. Picture someone recognizing the value of another person’s help. The passive pattern Your help is appreciated is a polite, somewhat formal way to express thanks without directly saying “I thank you.” Also learn greatly appreciated and would be appreciated. The word can concern gratitude here, though appreciate can also mean understanding or recognizing value more broadly.

appreciated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 appretiare（価値を見積もる）から。接頭辞 ad-（～に向けて）＋ pretium（価格・価値）が語源。関連語: price（価格）、precious（貴重な）。元は「正しく価値を認める」意味で、そこから「感謝する」へと発展した。
Appreciated is the past-tense and past-participle form of appreciate. Appreciate comes from Late Latin appretiare, “to set a value on,” built from a form of ad-, “toward,” and pretium, “price” or “value.” The initial sense of estimating or recognizing value broadened in English to include recognizing worth and feeling gratitude. The suffix -ed marks a past action or a resulting state.
