覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 cap「ふたをする」に -ed を付けた過去分詞由来の形容詞です。短母音の後の子音字 p を重ねて capped とし、語尾は /t/ と発音します。a capped bottle、a capped pen のように、ふたが実際に付いて閉じられた物を思い浮かべ、uncapped「キャップを外した」と対比して覚えます。
Start with the verb cap, meaning “to put a cap on something.” Capped is its past participle used as an adjective: cap gains another p before -ed because its final consonant follows a short stressed vowel. The ending is pronounced /t/, not as a separate syllable. Picture concrete combinations such as a capped bottle, a capped pen, or a capped syringe. Contrast these with uncapped or open objects; that contrast fixes the intended physical meaning and prevents confusion with capped meaning “limited to a maximum.”

capped の語源・成り立ち Etymology
後期ラテン語 cappa（頭巾・覆い）から古フランス語 cape を経て英語 cap に。「覆いをかぶせた」が原義。関連語: cap, cape, capable（本来「外套を持てる＝有能な」）。上限を設ける意味も「蓋をする」比喩から。
Capped is formed from the verb cap plus the past-participle ending -ed, with the final p doubled in spelling. Cap entered English from an early Germanic source reinforced by Old French cap, both ultimately connected with Late Latin cappa, referring to a head covering or cloak. The verb developed the literal sense “put a cap or covering on.” Its separate sense “set an upper limit” arose through the image of placing a top over something.
