覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 boil「煮る、ゆでる」に -ed を付けた過去分詞が、形容詞として「煮た、ゆでた」を表します。boiled egg、boiled potatoes、boiled vegetables のまとまりで覚えましょう。水や液体を沸騰させて加熱した状態が核で、油で調理した fried、オーブンで焼いた baked とは調理法が異なります。
Boiled comes from boil plus -ed and functions here as an adjective describing the result of cooking. Picture bubbles rising in hot water, then attach the word to familiar combinations: a boiled egg, boiled potatoes, and boiled vegetables. The food has been cooked in water or another hot liquid. Contrast this with fried food, which is cooked in hot fat, and baked food, which is cooked by dry heat in an oven. The base verb boil provides both the spelling and the image of bubbling liquid.

私は朝食にゆで卵を食べました。
The soup has boiled vegetables.
そのスープには煮た野菜が入っています。
She served boiled potatoes with fish.
彼女は魚にゆでたジャガイモを添えて出しました。

boiled の語源・成り立ち Etymology
boiled は boil「煮る・沸かす」に -ed がついた形で、boil は古フランス語を経てラテン語 bullire「泡立つ」にさかのぼります。つまり「ぐつぐつ泡立たせた」が核のイメージで、同根語には ebullient「沸き立つような」や ebullition があります。
Boiled is the past participle of boil, formed with the regular ending -ed and later used as an adjective. Boil entered English through Old French from Latin bullire, meaning “to bubble” or “to seethe.” Its earliest image is therefore liquid producing bubbles under heat. The adjective boiled applies that process to food that has been cooked in heated liquid.
