覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
dry だけなら単に乾いた感じだが、chapped は乾燥や寒さで表面が crack して、ヒリついたり裂け目ができたりするところまで含む語。chapped lips, chapped hands の形で覚えると使いどころが定着する。rough skin より原因が乾燥寄りで、winter・skincare の文脈でよく出る。moisturizer や lip balm が必要な状態を思い浮かべると記憶に残りやすい。
`Chapped` is stronger than just `dry`. It suggests skin that has become rough, cracked, or sore because of cold weather or dryness. Remember common pairs like `chapped lips` and `chapped hands`, and connect the word with lip balm or hand cream.

chapped の語源・成り立ち Etymology
chapped は中英語 chapen「ひび割れる・裂ける」に由来し、語幹 chap に過去分詞語尾 -ed が付いた形です。chap や chapping も同根で、寒さや乾燥で皮膚が「裂けた状態」だとわかると、単なる荒れではなく痛みを伴う感じまで見えてきます。
Chapped comes from Middle English chapen, meaning "to crack" or "split." It is the past-participle form built on chap with the ending -ed. The sense stayed close to the original idea, describing skin that has become cracked from cold or dryness. Chap and chapping are related forms.
