覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 condition に -ed を付けた過去分詞で、語末が /n/ のため -ed は /d/ と発音する。形容詞では、訓練や反復経験によって一定の反応をするようになった状態。conditioned response、conditioned habit、be conditioned to do の型を、ベルで座る犬の場面と結び付ける。
Conditioned is the past participle of condition, formed by adding -ed; because condition ends in the voiced sound /n/, the ending is pronounced /d/. In this adjective, imagine a response shaped by repeated training or experience. A dog repeatedly hears a bell before receiving a command or reward and eventually gives a conditioned response to the sound. Useful patterns include conditioned response, conditioned habit, and be conditioned to do something. Contrast conditioned with innate: a conditioned behavior is learned under particular circumstances, while an innate behavior is present naturally rather than acquired through training.

conditioned の語源・成り立ち Etymology
conditioned は condition に -ed が付いた語で、condition はラテン語 conditio「状態・取り決め」に由来し、英語では「ある状態に置く」意味へ広がりました。そこから「条件づけされた」「特定の状態に慣らされた」となり、condition や conditional も同じ根から来ています。
Conditioned is formed from condition and the past-participle suffix -ed. Condition comes through French from Latin condicio, meaning an agreement, stipulation, or state of affairs. In English, the verb condition developed the sense of placing something under particular circumstances and then of training a person or animal so that a response becomes associated with those circumstances. The participle conditioned consequently describes a learned or deliberately produced state. Conditional and conditioning belong to the same word family.
