覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
calculate に規則的な過去分詞語尾 -ed を付けた形で、原形末尾が /t/ のため -ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、音節が増える。ここでは calculated total、calculated distance、calculated data のように、実際の計算から得た「計算された」数値を表す。文脈によっては「意図的な」の意味もあるので注意する。
Calculated is the regular past participle of calculate, made by adding -ed. Because calculate ends in /t/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/ and adds a syllable. For the target meaning, connect the adjective with measurable results: a calculated total, a calculated distance, or calculated data. Each item has been produced through arithmetic or another formal method rather than guessed. The word also has a separate common sense meaning “deliberately planned,” as in a calculated risk, so let the following noun and context show which meaning is intended.

calculated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
calculatedはcalculateの過去分詞形で、古フランス語経由のラテン語calculare「小石で数える」に由来する。calc-は「小石」を表すcalculusからで、calculationやcalculusも同系。昔は小石で数えたので「計算された」の意味になる。
Calculated is the past participle of calculate. Calculate comes from Latin calculare, “to reckon,” derived from calculus, “a small stone or pebble.” Pebbles were used as counters in performing arithmetic, which connected the physical object with the act of computation. English forms calculated regularly by adding -ed to calculate; the adjective can describe either a computed result or a deliberately planned action.
