解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
candied は candy の語尾 y を i に変えて -ed を付けた過去分詞由来の形容詞です。candy /ˈkændi/ に対し candied /ˈkændid/ と末尾に /d/ の音節が加わります。candied orange peel、candied nuts、candied ginger のように、砂糖で保存・加工した食品と結び付けて覚えます。
Start with the verb candy, meaning to preserve or coat food with sugar. When -ed is added, the final y changes to i, producing candied. The pronunciation also changes from candy /ˈkændi/ to candied /ˈkændid/, with an extra /d/ sound forming a new syllable. Remember the word through common food combinations such as candied orange peel, candied nuts, and candied ginger. Unlike merely sweet food, something described as candied has undergone a particular sugar-treatment process, often for preservation as well as flavor.

candied の語源・成り立ち Etymology
アラビア語 qand（砂糖）がラテン語・フランス語を経て candy となり、その過去分詞形が candied。砂糖漬けにする行為を動詞化し、その形容詞用法。元はインドのサンスクリット語 khaṇḍa（砂糖の塊）に遡る。関連語: candy, sugar-coated。
Candied is the past participle of the verb candy, formed by changing final y to i and adding -ed. Candy reached English through French and Medieval Latin forms connected with Arabic qand, referring to crystallized sugar. The history extends further to Sanskrit khaṇḍa, meaning a piece or lump, especially a lump of sugar. The participle later developed its familiar adjectival use for food preserved or coated with sugar.
