解説 Definition

disrespected は disrespect(軽んじる、失礼に扱う)の過去形・過去分詞です。人や意見、立場が十分に尊重されなかったことを表すときに使われます。

The past tense and past participle of disrespect, meaning that someone or something was treated without proper respect, consideration, or recognition, or that a person experienced such treatment.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

原形 disrespect「敬意を払わず軽く扱う」に -ed が付いた過去形・過去分詞です。原形が /t/ で終わるため、-ed は一音節増えて /ɪd/ と発音します。feel disrespected や be disrespected by others の形で、「単なる不同意」ではなく、扱われ方に敬意が欠けていた場面を思い浮かべましょう。

Link disrespected to the base verb disrespect: dis- expresses absence or opposition, while respect is proper consideration or regard. The form can describe an action in the past or a resulting experience, especially in “feel disrespected” and “be disrespected by someone.” Because disrespect ends in /t/, the -ed ending is pronounced /ɪd/ and adds a syllable. Imagine a meeting where a speaker’s position or careful advice is dismissed rudely. The word concerns a lack of respectful treatment, which is stronger and more personal than simple disagreement.

例文

She felt disrespected during the meeting.

彼女は会議中に軽く扱われたと感じました。

The teacher said no student should be disrespected in class.

先生は、授業中にどの生徒も軽んじられてはいけないと言いました。

His careful advice was disrespected by the team.

彼の慎重な助言はチームに軽視されました。

disrespected の語源・成り立ち Etymology

disrespected は dis-「欠如・反対」+respect+-ed。respect はラテン語 respectus、さらに respicere「振り返って見る」に由来し、本来は「相手をよく見ること」。inspect, spectator と同じ spec- 系で、そこから「敬意を払わなかった」と発展した。

Disrespected consists of disrespect plus the past-tense or past-participle ending -ed. Disrespect combines dis-, indicating absence or opposition, with respect. Respect comes from Latin respectus and respicere, literally “to look back at” or “regard,” formed around the specere root “to look.” This root also appears in words such as inspect and spectator. The English formation thus expresses a completed act, or resulting condition, in which proper regard was not shown.
