覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

原形 channel に過去分詞の -ed が付いた英国式の綴りで、語末の l を重ねます(米国式は channeled)。水路 channel に流れを通す像から、be channelled into~「水・資金・感情などが~へ振り向けられる」と覚えます。-ed は /d/ と発音します。

Start with the noun channel, a route through which water or information passes. As a verb, it means to guide something along such a route or toward a purpose. Channelled is its British past participle and adjective; the final l is doubled, while American English usually writes channeled. Remember common patterns such as water channelled into a drain, funds channelled into schools, and anger channelled into writing. The -ed ending is pronounced /d/, because channel ends in a voiced sound.

追加資金は地域の学校へ振り向けられました。

His anger was channelled into a calm but firm letter.

channelled の語源・成り立ち Etymology

channel(水路)の過去分詞形で「溝を通された」の意。channel は古フランス語 chanel からラテン語 canalis(溝・水路)に遡り、canna(葦・管)が語根。関連語:canal(運河)、cannon(砲、管状の武器)。水や力が一定の方向に導かれる様子を表す。

Channelled is the British spelling of the past participle of channel; American English usually has channeled. Channel entered English through Old French chanel, ultimately from Latin canalis, meaning a channel or pipe. Canalis is related to canna, “reed” or “tube.” The literal idea of directing water through a channel later developed into the broader sense of directing money, energy, effort, or emotion toward a particular destination.
