appropriated は動詞 appropriate「特定目的に充当する」の過去形・過去分詞で、語尾 -ated の末尾は /ɪd/ と発音します。appropriated funds、appropriated money、appropriated budget のように、正式な決定によって用途が指定済みの資金と結び付けましょう。appropriate「適切な」とは発音も用法も異なります。
Appropriated is the past tense and past participle of the verb appropriate in its funding sense. The final -ed is pronounced /ɪd/ after the /t/ sound in appropriate. Picture money being officially assigned to its proper, specified purpose: appropriated funds, appropriated money, or an appropriated budget. This form indicates that the allocation has already been authorized or made. Do not confuse the verb appropriate, commonly pronounced with final /eɪt/, with the adjective appropriate, meaning “suitable,” which commonly ends in /ət/.

appropriated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
appropriated は中世ラテン語 appropriare「自分のものにする」に由来し、ad-「〜へ」+ proprius「固有の・自分自身の」から成ります。そこから「ある目的のために自分側へ取り分ける」感覚となり、財源が「充当された」という意味に納得できます。関連語は proper, property。
Appropriated is the past participle of appropriate. The verb came through Medieval Latin appropriare, “to make one’s own,” formed from ad-, meaning “to” or “toward,” and proprius, meaning “one’s own” or “particular.” Its sense developed from taking or assigning something as one’s own to setting resources apart for a particular use. Proper and property belong to the same broad Latin word family.
