覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
braided は原形 braid「髪やひもを編む」に規則的な -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。braid /breɪd/ の末尾が有声音 /d/ なので、-ed は /ɪd/ と発音され /ˈbreɪdɪd/ になります。braided her hair、braided rope、braided ribbons のように、複数の束を交差させる場面で覚えましょう。
Begin with braid, meaning “to interweave strands,” and add the regular past suffix -ed. Because braid ends in the /d/ sound, the ending forms an extra syllable /ɪd/: /breɪd/ becomes /ˈbreɪdɪd/. Visualize three sections of hair crossing in turn, or several fibers being combined into a stronger rope. Useful combinations are braided her hair, braided rope, and braided ribbons into a handle. Woven is broader and often describes cloth made by crossing threads, whereas braided usually suggests distinct strands crossing diagonally in a visible plait-like pattern.

He braided the rope to make it stronger.
彼はロープを強くするために編みました。

braided の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語のbregdan（引っ張る・交差させる）に由来するゲルマン語派の単語です。接尾辞-edが過去形を作ります。糸を素早く絡み合わせる手の動きから意味が派生しており、関連語に同じ語源を持つupbraid（急に引き上げる→叱責する）があります。
Braided is the regular past and past-participle form of braid, created with the suffix -ed. Braid is related to Old English bregdan, which meant “to move quickly,” “pull,” or “weave,” and belongs to the Germanic vocabulary of interlacing and movement. The modern verb focuses on repeatedly crossing strands of hair, fiber, cord, or similar material to form a unified pattern.
