disbursed は disburse（資金を支払う、払い出す）の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞としては支払われた、払い出されたという意味です。補助金、給与、融資金など、組織や制度から正式にお金が出された場合によく使われます。単なる買い物の支払いよりも、管理された資金の支出に向いた語です。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
disbursed は disburse「管理された資金を払い出す」の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞なら「支払われた」。語末 e を残す通常の規則で -d を加え、発音は /dɪsˈbɜːrst/。funds were disbursed、a disbursed amount のように助成金・融資・給与の正式な支出と結び付け、dispersed「散らされた」と混同しないようにします。
Disbursed is the past and past-participle form of disburse, made by adding -d because the base verb already ends in e; its final sound is /t/. Connect it with money leaving an organized source: a grant was disbursed, funds were disbursed to schools, or all disbursed amounts were recorded. The word is more formal than paid and often appears in financial or administrative documents. Its historical “out of the purse” image reinforces the idea. Keep it separate from dispersed, which means spread or scattered and does not specifically involve payment.

The grant was disbursed in three separate payments.
その助成金は3回に分けて支払われました。
All disbursed amounts must be recorded in the monthly report.

disbursed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 desbourser（des-「外へ」+ bourse「財布」）に由来。財布から金を「外に出す」＝支払うという意味。bourse はギリシャ語 byrsa（革袋）が起源。関連語: bursar（会計係）、reimburse（払い戻す）。
Disbursed comes from disburse, borrowed through Old French desbourser. That verb was formed from a prefix meaning “out” and bourse, “purse,” so its concrete image was taking money out of a purse. Bourse ultimately goes back through Latin to Greek byrsa, “hide” or “leather,” reflecting early leather money bags. Related financial words include bursar and reimburse, both historically connected with the purse or the handling of money.
