覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
concerted は動詞 concert「協調させる」の過去分詞形からできた形容詞で、語尾に -ed が付きます。発音は /kənˈsɜːrtɪd/ で、-ed は独立した /ɪd/ です。concerted effort、concerted action、concerted campaign の組み合わせで、複数者が計画的に力を合わせる場面を覚えます。
Connect concerted with the verb concert, “to arrange or act together.” It is historically the -ed form of that verb and is now especially common as an adjective. Pronounce the ending as a separate syllable, /ɪd/: con-CERT-ed. Remember the fixed combinations concerted effort, concerted action, concerted response, and concerted campaign. In each case, several people or organizations coordinate their work toward one goal. The word suggests deliberate planning and unity, not merely that different people happened to do similar things at the same time.

concerted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
イタリア語concertare（調和させる・協力する）から、ラテン語con-（共に）+certare（競う・努力する）に分解できる。「共に力を合わせる」が原義で、concert（演奏会＝協奏）と同根。関連語：concert、disconcert（困惑させる）。
Concerted is the past participle of the verb concert, with the regular suffix -ed, and it developed an adjectival use meaning coordinated or jointly arranged. Concert came through French and Italian concertare, “to agree, coordinate, or bring into harmony.” The Italian verb is traditionally associated with Latin con-, “together,” and certare, “to contend or strive.” The same historical family includes concert as a musical performance and disconcert, although their modern meanings differ.
