覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 evaporate の語末 e を落として -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞では「蒸発した・水分を除いた」。e-「外へ」＋vapor「蒸気」の構成から、液体が蒸気となって外へ出る像で覚える。evaporated water と evaporated milk では、後者が水分を一部除いた無糖練乳を指す点に注意。
Take the base verb evaporate, drop its final e, and add -ed. The result is the past form and past participle, and it can act as an adjective describing something that has become vapor or lost moisture. Link e-, “out,” with vapor: the liquid goes out into the air as vapor. Remember the contrast between evaporated water, which has turned into vapor, and evaporated milk, a fixed food term for unsweetened milk concentrated by removing some water. The ending is pronounced /ɪd/ because evaporate ends in a /t/ sound.
例文

私たちはスープに無糖練乳を使いました。

evaporated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
evaporated は evaporate の過去分詞形で、ラテン語 evaporare にさかのぼります。e-「外へ」+ vapor「蒸気」から成り、「外へ蒸気として出る」が「蒸発する」になった語です。関連語に vapor、vaporize があり、語源を知ると「水気が抜けた」感じが見えます。
Evaporated is formed from evaporate by replacing the final silent e with -ed. Evaporate comes from Latin evaporare, composed of e- or ex-, “out,” and vapor, “steam” or “vapor.” Its original structure therefore describes moisture passing outward as vapor. The participial adjective later developed a specialized culinary use in evaporated milk, referring to milk concentrated through the removal of part of its water.
