覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
dismisses は dismiss「解雇する」の三人称単数現在形で、語末が s のため -es を付け、発音は /dɪsˈmɪsɪz/ です。The company dismisses workers の型で覚えます。fires より正式な響きがあり、審査や規則に基づいて従業員を職から外す場面に合います。
Start with the base verb dismiss and add -es for a third-person singular subject: a company dismisses, or a manager dismisses. Because dismiss ends in an s sound, the ending forms an extra syllable, giving /dɪsˈmɪsɪz/. In the target sense, picture an employer formally removing a worker from a position after a review or repeated rule violations. Dismisses is often more formal than fires. Although dismiss can also mean rejecting an idea or allowing someone to leave, the workplace context identifies the meaning “terminates employment.”

dismisses の語源・成り立ち Etymology
dismisses は動詞 dismiss に三単現の -es が付いた形。dismiss はラテン語 dimittere「送り去る」にさかのぼり、dis-/di-「離して」+ mittere「送る」から成るので、「その場から去らせる」感覚が解雇の意味につながる。関連語は mission, permit。
Dismisses consists of dismiss plus the third-person singular present ending -es. Dismiss entered English from Latin dimittere through later French or Latin use. The Latin verb combines dis-, in the sense of separation, with mittere, “to send,” and literally conveyed sending someone away. That physical image developed into several meanings, including releasing someone and removing an employee from a position. The -es ending is required because the base verb ends in s.
