覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 disobey「従わない」に規則変化の -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語尾は /d/ と発音します。dis- は否定・反対、obey は「従う」なので、disobeyed a signal、instructions、rules の形で、命令や規則に従わなかった過去の行為を覚えます。
Break disobeyed into dis- plus obey plus -ed. Obey means to follow an order or rule, while dis- reverses that idea; the regular -ed ending places the action in the past or forms a past participle. The ending is pronounced /d/. Fix the word in memory through common objects: someone “disobeyed a traffic signal,” “disobeyed instructions,” or “disobeyed safety rules.” Unlike ignored, which can suggest mere inattention, disobeyed clearly presents the instruction or rule as something the person did not follow.
例文
The driver disobeyed the traffic signal.
その運転手は信号に従いませんでした。
He disobeyed the teacher's clear instructions.
彼は先生の明確な指示に従いませんでした。
The employee was warned because she disobeyed safety rules.
その従業員は安全規則に従わなかったため注意を受けました。

disobeyed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
disobeyed は disobey の過去形で、dis-「反対・否定」+ obey から成ります。obey は古フランス語経由でラテン語 oboedire「耳を向ける、従う」にさかのぼり、「言うことを聞かない」から「従わなかった」の意味になりました。関連語は obey, audible。
Disobeyed is the regular past tense and past participle of disobey, formed by adding -ed. Disobey combines the negative or reversing prefix dis- with obey. Obey entered English through Old French and ultimately derives from Latin oboedire, meaning “to listen to” or “to comply with.” Its history connects attentive listening with obedience; adding dis- creates the opposite sense, and -ed marks the completed or past action.
