覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
clyde は通常 Clyde と大文字で書き、男性名またはスコットランドの River Clyde「クライド川」を指します。例文では一つ目に人名と川名が同時に現れる点が手掛かりです。普通名詞として意味を探さず、near the River Clyde や uncle Clyde のように固有名詞の位置と大文字を確認しましょう。
Treat clyde as the dictionary headword for Clyde, which is normally capitalized because it is a proper name. It may identify a man, as in “uncle Clyde,” or the major Scottish river called the River Clyde. The sentence “Clyde grew up near the River Clyde” neatly shows both uses: the first Clyde is a person, while the second is part of a geographical name. Do not search for an ordinary common-noun meaning. Instead, notice capitalization and nearby clues such as a family relationship, a personal action, River, Glasgow, or Scotland.

clyde の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スコットランドのクライド川（River Clyde）に由来する地名・人名。ケルト語の Clota（「洗い清めるもの」）が語源とされ、ウェールズ語 clud（温かい）との関連も指摘される。グラスゴーを流れる川として有名で、そこから人名に転用された。
The name Clyde was taken from the River Clyde in Scotland and later became established as a masculine personal name. The river’s ancient name is recorded in forms related to Clota. It has traditionally been connected with a Celtic expression interpreted as “the cleansing one,” although details of very old river names are not completely certain. The association with Glasgow and the surrounding region helped make Clyde recognizable as both a place-name and a given name.
