覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 aspirate に -d を付けた過去分詞・形容詞で、語末が e なので aspirated とします。医学では aspirated fluid「吸引された液体」や food was aspirated「食物が気道へ吸い込まれた」、音声学では aspirated consonant「強い息を伴う子音」と覚え、共通の核を「息・吸引」に置きます。
Start with the verb aspirate and add -d, since the base already ends in silent e: aspirate becomes aspirated. Keep one core image—air or suction moving something. In medicine, aspirated fluid has been removed by suction, while aspirated food has entered the airway through inhalation. In phonetics, an aspirated consonant is released with a strong puff of breath; hold your hand before your mouth while saying the initial sound in “pin” to feel it. The surrounding nouns—fluid, food, consonant, or sound—usually reveal the intended sense.
例文

aspirated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語「aspirare」（息を吹きかける）に由来。ad-（～に向かって）＋spirare（呼吸する）の構成。音声学では破裂音に伴う気息を、医学では吸引を指す。関連語：aspire（熱望する）、inspire（霊感を与える）。息という原義が多方面に展開した語。
Aspirated is the past-participial form of aspirate, which ultimately comes from Latin aspirare, “to breathe or blow upon.” That verb combines ad-, “toward,” with spirare, “to breathe.” The shared idea of breath developed in two technical directions: phonetics uses the word for sounds accompanied by a puff of air, while medicine uses it for material drawn out by suction or taken into the airway during breathing.
