覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
drawn は draw「描く」の不規則な過去分詞で、drawed とはしません。発音は draw /drɔː/ に n が加わる /drɔːn/ です。「線を引く」から「絵を描く」へ意味が広がったと捉え、be drawn in blue、be drawn on the board、be drawn by a child の受け身で「描かれた」と覚えます。
Drawn is the irregular past participle of draw, so do not say drawed. The base draw is pronounced /drɔː/, while drawn adds a final /n/: /drɔːn/. For this meaning, connect the older idea of pulling with pulling a pen across a surface to make lines. Learn it in passive patterns: a map was drawn on the board, the bird is drawn in blue, and the picture was drawn by a child. These patterns distinguish the “depicted with lines” sense from other meanings of drawn, such as pulled, attracted, or looking tired.
例文

A map was drawn on the board.
黒板に地図が描かれました。

drawn の語源・成り立ち Etymology
drawn は draw の過去分詞で、古英語 dragan「引く」が語源、さらにゲルマン祖語 *draganan にさかのぼります。『引っぱる』から『線を引く』が生まれ、『描かれた』の意味につながりました。drag や draft が関連語です。
Drawn is the past participle of draw, an irregular verb descended from Old English dragan, meaning “to pull or drag,” and ultimately from a Germanic source. The sense “make a picture” developed from the action of pulling or moving a pointed tool across a surface to produce lines. The modern participle preserves an older irregular formation rather than using -ed. Drag is historically related, while draft reflects a related idea of drawing or pulling.
