覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 flute に、eで終わる語なので d だけを加えた形が fluted です。語尾の -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。笛の管を思わせる細長い溝が並ぶ形から、fluted column（溝彫りの柱）、fluted glass（筋入りグラス）という典型表現で覚えます。
Start with flute and add only d because the base already ends in e: flute becomes fluted. Here the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving /ˈfluːtɪd/. To remember the physical meaning, picture the long, parallel lines running along a flute-like tube. Then attach that image to common combinations such as a fluted column, a fluted glass, and a fluted cake pan. Grooved is the closest general description, while ribbed often emphasizes raised lines rather than channels cut into a surface.

fluted の語源・成り立ち Etymology
fluted は flute「笛」に -ed が付いた形です。flute は古フランス語 flahute に由来し、fluting, flutist も同根。表面の細長い溝が笛の管や筋を思わせるため、「溝付き」という意味になったと考えると覚えやすいです。
Fluted is formed from flute plus the adjectival ending -ed. Flute entered English through Old French, although its earlier history is not fully certain. The noun first referred to the musical instrument, while later uses connected flute with long channels or grooves resembling the instrument’s elongated form. From this developed fluting for ornamental grooves and fluted for an object whose surface has such grooves or alternating ridges.
