equated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
equated は equate「同一視する、同等と見なす」の過去形・過去分詞です。equate はラテン語 aequare「等しくする」の過去分詞 aequatus に由来し、aequare は aequus「平らな、等しい」から派生しました。関連語に equal、equity があります。
Equated is formed from equate and the past-tense and participial suffix -ed. Equate comes from Latin aequare, “to make equal,” which derives from aequus, “level, even, or equal.” English equal and equity belong to the same broad word family. The form does not need to be divided into a productive English prefix e- and a separate element quate; historically, its central idea is simply making or regarding things as equal.
