覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
distributes は distribute「配布する・分配する」の三人称単数現在形です。主語が he、she、it や単数名詞のとき -s が付き、語末は /s/ ではなく /s/ と発音して /dɪˈstrɪbjuːts/ となります。dis-「各方向へ」＋tribute「割り当てる」の像で、物や情報を複数の相手へ行き渡らせる場面を覚えましょう。
Distributes is distribute plus the third-person singular ending -s. Use it when the present-tense subject is he, she, it, or one singular person or organization: “The teacher distributes worksheets.” The ending is pronounced /s/ because the base form ends in the voiceless sound /t/. Think of one distributor sending items outward to several destinations. Common patterns include distribute something to people and distribute something among a group. Unlike merely giving one object to one person, distributing usually suggests planned delivery or allocation across multiple recipients.

distributes の語源・成り立ち Etymology
distributes はラテン語 distribuere にさかのぼり、dis-「ばらばらに」＋ tribuere「割り当てる・与える」から成ります。つまり「各所に割り振る」が核で、配る意味になるとわかり、関連語に contribute, tribute があります。
Distributes is the third-person singular present form of distribute. Distribute comes from Latin distribuere, built from dis-, “apart or in different directions,” and tribuere, “to assign, allot, or grant.” Its central image is therefore assigning portions to different people or places. English words such as contribute and tribute are historically related through the same Latin element, although their modern meanings and patterns of use differ.
