覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
carried は carry の過去形・過去分詞です。子音字＋y で終わるため y を i に替えて -ed を付け、carry → carried となり、-ed は /d/ と発音します。形容詞的には carried bags や boxes carried by workers のように、すでに運ばれた状態を表します。
Connect carried directly to the base verb carry, “to take or support something while moving it.” Because carry ends in a consonant plus y, change y to i before adding -ed: carry becomes carried. The ending is pronounced /d/, so the word is /ˈkærid/. Picture boxes carried by workers from a truck to a room. This phrase is more natural than placing carried before many ordinary nouns, although attributive use is possible in a suitable context. The key idea is the resulting state: the object has been supported and moved by a person, vehicle, current, or other force.

carried の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 carrus（荷車）からフランス語 carier（車で運ぶ）を経て英語に入った。語根は「車」で、car（車）や carriage（馬車）と同根。「車に載せて運ぶ」が原義で、そこから広く「運ぶ・持ち運ぶ」の意味に拡大した。
Carried is the past and past participle form of carry. Carry entered Middle English through Anglo-French carier, meaning “to transport in a vehicle,” and is ultimately connected with Late Latin carricare, “to load onto a cart,” from carrus, “cart” or “wagon.” Its meaning later broadened beyond transport by cart to include holding, supporting, conveying, and moving almost anything. The spelling changes from carry to carried according to the regular consonant-plus-y rule.
