覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
名詞 beard「ひげ」に「〜を備えた」を表す -ed が付いた形容詞で、動詞の単純な過去形として覚えるより「ひげのある」と捉えるのが実用的です。a bearded man、a bearded face のように名詞の前で外見を説明します。beard は口ひげだけでなく、主にあご・頬に生えるひげを指す点も押さえましょう。
Build the word from beard plus -ed: bearded literally means “provided with a beard.” Picture a bearded man whose chin and lower cheeks are covered with facial hair. This distinguishes a beard from a mustache, which grows mainly above the upper lip. Learn the adjective in combinations such as a bearded man, a bearded actor, and a bearded face. Although -ed often marks a past participle, here it works naturally as an adjective describing a visible feature, much like winged or long-haired.

古英語 beard（ひげ）に形容詞化の接尾辞 -ed が付いた語。beard はゲルマン祖語 *bardaz に遡り、ラテン語 barba（ひげ）と同根。関連語: barber（床屋）、barbate（ひげのある）。「ひげを持つ者」が原義で、外見的特徴を表す形容詞となった。
Bearded is formed from beard and the adjectival suffix -ed, with the sense “having or furnished with a beard.” Beard comes from Old English beard and belongs to an old Germanic word family. It is also historically related to Latin barba, “beard,” which is reflected in words such as barber. The adjective has long been used for people and can also describe animals or plants with hairlike, bristly, or tufted features.
