覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 assassinate「暗殺する」に過去・過去分詞の -ed が付いた形で、語末の e を残して d だけを加え、発音は /ɪd/ です。assassinated leader や assassinated president のように名詞の前に置き、政治的・社会的に重要な人物が意図的に殺害された状態を表すと覚えます。
Connect assassinated directly with the base verb assassinate, meaning to murder an important public figure for political or similar reasons. Because assassinate already ends in silent e, its past and past-participle form is made by adding only d, and the ending is pronounced /ɪd/. Picture common combinations such as an assassinated leader, president, or reformer. These phrases distinguish the word from simply killed: assassinated normally suggests a deliberate attack on a prominent person, often with a political motive.
