覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
eliminate「排除する」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語幹末が /t/ のため -ed は /ɪd/ と発音する。「不要物を取り除いた」と「競技で敗退させた」の両方に使い、was eliminated in the first round、errors were eliminated の形で覚える。
Build eliminated from eliminate plus -ed. Because eliminate ends in the /t/ sound, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving an extra syllable. The word keeps the basic idea of removing something from consideration or participation. In a competition, a team was eliminated when it lost and could not continue. In editing or reform, errors or old rules were eliminated when they were removed. Learn both patterns: eliminated from a report and eliminated in the first round.
例文
The team was eliminated in the first round.
そのチームは1回戦で敗退しました。
The old rule was eliminated last year.
その古い規則は昨年廃止されました。
Several errors were eliminated from the report.
報告書からいくつかの誤りが取り除かれました。

eliminated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語eliminare（戸口の外へ追い出す）が語源。ex-（外へ）+limen（敷居・戸口）に分解でき、「敷居の外に出す→取り除く」という意味が生まれた。関連語：preliminary（敷居の前の→予備の）、limit。
Eliminated is the past tense and past participle of eliminate. Eliminate comes from Latin eliminare, meaning to turn out of doors or expel. That verb is associated with ex-, “out,” and limen, “threshold.” The physical image of sending something beyond the threshold developed into the broader modern senses of removing an unwanted item, abolishing a rule, or ending a competitor’s participation.
