覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 fund「資金を提供する」に -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞で、語末 /d/ の後の -ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、funded は2音節になります。be funded by ～「～から資金提供を受ける」、publicly funded「公的資金で運営される」を定型で覚えましょう。単に money が「ある」のではなく、計画などに資金源が付いた状態を示します。
Begin with the verb fund, “provide money for a purpose,” and add -ed. Since fund ends in /d/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, so funded has two syllables. Picture a research project receiving a grant and then becoming a funded project. Learn the patterns be funded by a city or organization, be funded through a grant, and publicly funded. The word does more than say money exists: it shows that a particular activity, program, or group has received financial support from an identifiable source.

funded の語源・成り立ち Etymology
funded は fund「基金・資金」に -ed が付いた形で、fund は古フランス語 fond を経てラテン語 fundus「土台・底・基盤」にさかのぼります。もとは「活動の土台になるお金を与える」感覚で、fund や foundation に通じると考えると「資金提供された」が腑に落ちます。
Funded is formed from fund plus the past-tense or past-participle ending -ed. Fund came through French fond from Latin fundus, “bottom, base, or foundation.” A fund was understood as a stock of money serving as a financial base for some purpose. The verb fund consequently came to mean supplying that base, and funded describes the resulting state of a project or organization that has received the necessary financial support.
