覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
「学士号」の baccalaureate は、bachelor’s degree を改まって言う教育用語として覚えるとよいです。日常会話では bachelor’s degree のほうが普通で、baccalaureate degree や baccalaureate studies のように、大学案内・制度説明・履歴書寄りの文脈で出やすい語です。degree, earned, studies, completed などが近くにあれば、大学卒業後に得る学位を指す手がかりになります。
Use bachelor as your anchor word. A baccalaureate is closely connected to a bachelor's degree, but it sounds more formal and institutional. Look for words such as degree, earned, completed, and studies when the meaning is about a university qualification.

バカロレア
(意味 2)解説 Definition
主に欧州などで、中等教育の修了を認定し、大学進学資格にも結びつく試験や資格を指す。国や制度によって内容は異なるが、卒業試験と入学資格の両方の性格を持つ文脈で使われることが多い。単なる学位名ではなく、教育制度上の到達資格として述べるときの語義。
A baccalaureate is an exam or qualification that marks the completion of secondary education and often gives access to university study. It is used especially in European and similar education systems, although the exact form differs by country. The word often refers to something that has both the role of a graduation certificate and a university entrance qualification, not simply an academic degree name.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず bachelor を軸に覚えるのが近道です。大学で最初に取る学位は bachelor’s degree で、baccalaureate はその少し改まった・制度名寄りの言い方だと結びつけると残ります。学校案内では International Baccalaureate や baccalaureate degree の形でも見かけます。語尾の -ate で動詞に見えてもここでは名詞。つづりは bac-ca-lau-re-ate と固まりで区切って覚えると、acc の並びや後半の laureate 部分を落としにくいです。
The easiest way to remember baccalaureate is to connect it with bachelor. A bachelor's degree is the first university degree, and baccalaureate is a more formal word often used for a qualification or program name, as in International Baccalaureate or baccalaureate degree. Even though the ending -ate may look verbal, this word is a noun here. Try breaking the spelling into parts like bac-ca-lau-re-ate so you do not lose the double c or the laureate-like ending.
例文

The meaning of baccalaureate can change slightly from one education system to another.

baccalaureate の語源・成り立ち Etymology
「baccalaureate」は中世ラテン語baccalaureatusに由来し、学位の最初段階を表したbaccalariusが土台である。後にbacca「木の実」＋lauri「月桂樹」の連想で形が整えられ、月桂冠を得る学位という響きを帯びた。関連語はbachelor、laureate。
`Baccalaureate` comes from Medieval Latin `baccalaureatus`, based on `baccalarius`, a word for a junior rank that later became an academic one. Its form was influenced by an association with `bacca` "berry" and `laurus` "laurel," giving it the image of a laurel crown. That is why it is historically linked with both `bachelor` and `laureate.`
