覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 carbonate に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 e があるためそのまま d を加える。飲料では carbonated water のように形容詞的に「二酸化炭素を含ませた」。still water と対比すると定着しやすい。carbonized は「炭化した」で意味が異なるので注意。
Begin with the verb carbonate and add -d, because the base already ends in e. Carbonated can therefore be a past-tense or past-participle verb, but it is especially familiar as an adjective in carbonated water and carbonated drinks. Picture bubbles of dissolved carbon dioxide rising when a bottle is opened. Restaurants often contrast still water, which has no added fizz, with carbonated or sparkling water. Do not confuse carbonated with carbonized: carbonated concerns carbon dioxide in a liquid, while carbonized means converted into carbon or charred.

carbonated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の「carbo（木炭）」を語源とし、語根「carbon」、化学接尾辞「-ate」、過去分詞「-ed」から成ります。炭素が水に溶けた状態を示し、木炭の燃焼で得られるガスが水に泡立つ過程に由来しています。関連語に「carbon（炭素）」「carbohydrate（炭水化物）」があります。
Carbonated is formed from carbonate plus the past-participle ending -d. Carbonate is based on carbon, ultimately from Latin carbo, meaning “charcoal,” together with the chemical or verbal suffix -ate. In the beverage sense, to carbonate means to introduce carbon dioxide so that it dissolves under pressure and later forms bubbles. The participial form consequently describes a liquid that has undergone this process, especially water and soft drinks.
