覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
dispensed は dispense「決まった量を配る・供給する」に -d を付けた過去形・過去分詞。medicine was dispensed by a pharmacist「薬剤師が調剤した」、water was dispensed from a machine「機械から水が出た」の型で覚える。単に give するより、管理された方法で渡す含みがある。
Start with dispense, which often means to distribute or release something in measured or controlled amounts. Since the base verb ends in e, add only d to form dispensed. Associate it with three common settings: a pharmacist dispenses medicine, a machine dispenses water, and an organization dispenses emergency supplies. Compared with the general verb give, dispense suggests an established system, authorized provider, or mechanism. In passive sentences, the recipient or source often follows a preposition: medicine was dispensed by a pharmacist, water was dispensed from a machine, and supplies were dispensed to families.
例文

水は入口の近くにある機械から提供されました。

dispensed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の接頭辞「dis-（離れて）」と語根「pendere（量る・支払う）」に由来します。元々は秤で物資を量り分けて与える様子から「分配する」の意味に進化しました。同じ語根を持つ「expend（支出する）」や「pension（年金）」を覚えれば、語源の繋がりが明確になります。
Dispensed is the past tense and past participle of dispense. Dispense came through Old French from Latin dispensare, meaning to distribute, administer, or manage by weighing. It is related to dis-, conveying division or distribution, and pendere, “to weigh.” The historical picture is of goods being weighed out and allocated, which remains visible in modern uses involving medicine, supplies, food, and drinks.
