覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
動詞 book「予約する」の過去形・過去分詞で、語末が無声音 /k/ のため -ed は /t/ と発音し、おおよそ「ブックト」。形容詞では「予約済み」の状態を表す。fully booked「満室・満席」、a table booked for seven「7時に予約された席」の形で覚える。
Start with the verb book, meaning to reserve something, and add the regular past-participle ending -ed. Because book ends in the voiceless sound /k/, the ending is pronounced /t/, so booked sounds like “bookt.” As an adjective, it describes something whose place or time has already been claimed. Fix it in memory with fully booked for a hotel with no rooms left, or booked for seven for a restaurant table reserved at seven o’clock.
例文
The hotel is fully booked tonight.
そのホテルは今夜、すべて予約済みです。
Our table is booked for seven o'clock.
私たちの席は7時に予約されています。
All seats were booked before noon.
正午前にすべての席が予約済みになりました。

booked の語源・成り立ち Etymology
booked は book の過去分詞で、book は古英語 bōc「書物・記録」、さらにゲルマン祖語 *bōks にさかのぼります。もとは「帳簿に書き込む」で、名簿や台帳に名を入れることから「予約済みになる」と発展しました。関連語は booking, booklet です。
Booked is the past tense and past participle of book. Book comes from Old English bōc, meaning a written work or record, and ultimately from a Germanic source. The verb originally referred to entering information in a book or register. Recording a person’s name for a room, seat, or journey then produced the modern sense “reserve,” from which the adjective booked developed.
