覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
cheated は cheat「だます、不正をする」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 /t/ の後なので -ed を /ɪd/ と発音し、/ˈtʃiːtɪd/ となります。ここでは be cheated by a seller「販売者にだまされる」や be cheated out of money「だまされて金を奪われる」を覚えましょう。試験で「カンニングした」の能動用法とは、主語と文型で区別します。
Form cheated by adding -ed to cheat. Because cheat ends in /t/, the ending creates an extra syllable /ɪd/: /ˈtʃiːtɪd/. For the meaning here, picture a dishonest seller causing a customer to lose money. Learn the passive patterns be cheated by someone and be cheated out of something: she was cheated out of her money. Felt cheated means felt unfairly treated or denied what was expected. The same form can be active in a different context, as in a student cheated on a test, so use the subject and surrounding pattern to identify whether it means deceived or acted dishonestly.

cheated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
cheated の元の cheat は、古フランス語 escheat 由来で、さらに後期ラテン語 *excadere「外へ落ちる」にさかのぼります。もとは「無主財産が領主に帰する」、つまり財産が“落ちてくる”感覚で、そこから「不当に奪う」そして「だます」へ意味が移りました。関連語は escheat, accident。
Cheated is formed from cheat plus the past-tense and past-participle ending -ed. Cheat developed as a shortened form of escheat, a legal term that entered English through Old French and referred to property reverting to a lord when no legal heir existed. Escheat ultimately relates to a Latin verb meaning “fall out.” Associations with officials dishonestly taking property helped produce the later senses “deprive unfairly,” “deceive,” and “act dishonestly.”
