覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
cheer「歓声を上げる、応援する」に規則的に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末は /d/ と発音します。crowd cheered「観客が歓声を上げた」、cheered for our team「私たちのチームを応援した」が典型です。単なる拍手の clapped より、喜びや支持を声で表す点を意識しましょう。
Start with the base verb cheer, meaning to express joy, approval, or support, especially with enthusiastic shouts. Cheered is formed regularly by adding -ed, and its final ending is pronounced /d/, not as a separate syllable. Common patterns include the crowd cheered when something happened and we cheered for our team. Imagine spectators reacting loudly at the end of a game or students responding after a speech. Unlike clapped, which specifically describes striking the hands together, cheered emphasizes the vocal expression of excitement or support, though cheering and clapping often occur together.

cheered の語源・成り立ち Etymology
cheered は cheer の過去分詞形で、cheer はアングロ=フランス語 chere「顔・表情」に由来します。意味が「表情」から「気分」「喜び・声援」へ広がったため、cheerful や cheery と同根のこの語も、「気持ちが上向いた・歓声に包まれた」感じを帯びます。
Cheered is the regular past-tense and past-participle form of cheer. Cheer entered English from Anglo-French chere, which referred to the face or facial expression and ultimately came from a Greek word for the head through Latin and French. In English, the sense developed from “face” to a person’s mood or disposition, then to gladness, encouragement, and an audible expression of approval. Adding -ed places the action in the past or forms the participle.
