覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
bigot「偏見を持つ人」に形容詞を作る -ed が付いた語で、「偏見に凝り固まった」と捉える。bigoted comment、bigoted attitude、bigoted view のように、集団や考え方を不寛容に決めつける発言・態度・見方を批判するときに使う。単なる stubborn「頑固な」より、偏見や差別の含みが強い。
Connect bigoted with bigot, a noun for someone who holds intolerant prejudices. The ending -ed turns that idea into an adjective describing a person, remark, attitude, or policy marked by such prejudice. Remember common combinations such as bigoted comment, bigoted attitude, and bigoted view. Unlike stubborn, which can simply mean unwilling to change one’s mind, bigoted specifically suggests unfair intolerance toward a group, belief, or way of life and therefore carries strong criticism.

bigoted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語のbigotに-ed（形容詞化接尾辞）が付いた形です。元は「宗教的な熱狂者」を指し、自説に頑なに固執する姿勢から「他者の意見を許容しない偏狭な」意味へ転じました。同語根に名詞のbigotry（偏見）や原形のbigot（偏見者）があります。
Bigoted is formed from bigot plus the adjectival suffix -ed. Bigot entered English through French and formerly referred especially to a person regarded as excessively or intolerantly devoted to a religious belief. Its meaning broadened to someone obstinately prejudiced against people with different identities or views. The deeper origin of French bigot is uncertain, so proposed explanations should not be treated as established fact.
