覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
celebrated は celebrate の過去形・過去分詞で、語末の e を残して -d を付けます。発音は /ˈseləbreɪtɪd/ と一音節増えます。ここでは famous「名高い」ではなく、birthday was celebrated「誕生日が祝われた」のように、be celebrated by/at/in の受け身で祝賀された意味を覚えましょう。
Celebrated is the past tense and past participle of celebrate. Since celebrate already ends in e, add only -d; the ending is pronounced /ɪd/ after /t/, giving /ˈseləbreɪtɪd/. For the meaning here, learn passive patterns such as “the victory was celebrated by fans” and “the festival was celebrated in the square.” The subject is the occasion that received the celebration. Celebrated can also mean “famous,” as in “a celebrated author,” but that is not the sense in these examples. Context and the presence of was or were help distinguish the passive meaning.

celebrated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
celebrated は celebrate の過去分詞形で、ラテン語 celebrare「人が集まる、称える」にさかのぼります。語幹 celebr- には「多くの人の注目を集める」感覚があり、そこから「祝われた」だけでなく「名高い」という意味にも広がりました。celebrity や celebration も同根です。
Celebrated is the past and past-participial form of celebrate. Celebrate comes from Latin celebrare, meaning to gather in large numbers, honor, or perform publicly, and is related to Latin celeber, “frequented” or “famous.” The idea of public attention developed into marking an occasion with ceremonies or enjoyment. English forms celebrated by adding -d to celebrate. Celebration and celebrity share the same historical stem, although their modern meanings and uses differ.
