覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Episcopalian は Episcopal「聖公会の」に、人を表す -ian が付いた形と捉える。名詞なら「聖公会信徒」、形容詞なら「聖公会の」で、「an Episcopalian」「an Episcopalian family」の両方を確認する。語源の episkopos「監督者」は bishop と同根なので、主教による教会統治という聖公会の特徴と結び付けると覚えやすい。
Start with Episcopal, referring to the Episcopal Church, and notice the ending -ian, which often identifies a person or affiliation. This gives two common patterns: “an Episcopalian” for a church member and “an Episcopalian family” for the adjective. The deeper memory link is Greek episkopos, an overseer, the source behind the church-related idea of government by bishops. Bishop is historically related even though its modern spelling looks very different. Associate the word with bishops, liturgy, and the Book of Common Prayer, while remembering that Anglican is the broader international label and Episcopalian is especially common in the United States.

episcopalian の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ギリシャ語episkopos（監督者）に由来。epi-（上に）＋skopos（見る者）で「上から見守る者＝監督」の意。ラテン語episcopusを経て英語bishop（主教）も同根。聖公会（Episcopal Church）の信徒を指す。関連語：bishop（主教）、scope（範囲）。
Episcopalian is formed from episcopal and the affiliation suffix -ian. Episcopal ultimately comes through Latin episcopalis and episcopus from Greek episkopos, “overseer,” built from epi-, “over,” and a form related to skopos, “watcher.” The Greek term developed into a title for a bishop; English bishop is a historically altered descendant of the same source. Episcopalian came to denote a member or characteristic of a church governed by bishops, particularly the Episcopal Church in the United States.
