commemorated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
commemorated は commemorate の過去形で、ラテン語 commemorare に由来します。com-「共に・強意」+ memorare「思い出させる」から成り、memory や memorial と同系なので、「皆で思い起こして忘れないようにする」ことが記念する感覚です。
Commemorated is formed from commemorate by dropping the final silent e and adding -ed. Commemorate comes from Latin commemorare, “to call to mind or remember,” combining com-, used intensively or collectively, with memorare, “to remind,” from memor, “mindful.” Memory, memorial, and remember belong to the same broad word family. The English verb consequently developed the sense of preserving a person or event in shared memory through ceremonies, monuments, speeches, or other observances.
