覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
debated は debate の過去形・過去分詞で、語末 e があるため -d だけを加えます。発音は /dɪˈbeɪtɪd/ で、-ed は /ɪd/ です。debated the plan「計画を議論した」、debated whether ...「…かどうか議論した」の型で、賛否を言葉で交わす場面を覚えましょう。
Start with debate and add only -d because the base verb already ends in e. In debated, the -ed ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving /dɪˈbeɪtɪd/. Associate it with a completed exchange of arguments: “They debated the plan,” “The students debated the issue,” or “The committee debated whether to change the rule.” Unlike merely mentioning a topic, debating normally involves examining different positions or reasons. The historical image of people “striking back and forth” with words can reinforce the sense of an organized verbal contest.
例文

The students debated the issue in class.
学生たちは授業でその問題について議論しました。
The committee debated whether the rule should be changed.

debated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語debatre(打ち合う)からで、ラテン語de-(下に、強調)+battuere(打つ)が語根。「互いに打ち合う→言葉で戦う」と意味が変化。同根語にbattle(戦い)やcombat(戦闘、com-+battuere)がある。議論とは言葉の打ち合いである。
Debated is the past tense and past participle of debate. Debate entered English through Old French debatre, literally associated with beating or fighting, from de- used intensively and batre, “to beat.” Its meaning shifted from physical conflict to a contest or exchange of arguments. The final -ed marks past time or a completed participial action. Words such as battle are historically related through the same family of terms connected with beating or fighting.
