glued
接着された
解説 Definition
グルードとは、接着剤などでしっかりと貼り付けられた状態を表す形容詞です。物理的に何かにくっついている様子を指すほか、比喩的に目や注意が何かに釘付けになっている状態にも使われます。強い集中や執着を表現する際にも用いられます。
Glued describes something firmly attached with an adhesive or held as if by one. In figurative expressions such as glued to the screen or glued to a chair, it indicates intense attention, shock, or another condition that makes a person remain fixed in place.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 glue の語末の無音 e を残したまま -d を加えた過去分詞で、発音は一音節の /ɡluːd/ です。pieces were glued together は物理的な接着、be glued to the screen は「画面に釘付け」の比喩。接着剤で離れなくなる像を、体・視線・注意が動かない状態へ広げて覚えましょう。
Connect glued with the noun and verb glue: if two pieces are glued together, adhesive holds them so they do not separate. It is the past participle of glue, formed by adding -d because the base already ends in silent e, and it is pronounced as one syllable, /ɡluːd/. Extend the physical picture to common figurative phrases. Someone glued to the television cannot look away, while someone glued to a chair seems unable to move. In both cases, the central memory image is being held firmly in one position.

glued の語源・成り立ち Etymology
英語 glue（接着剤）の過去分詞形。glue は古フランス語 glu を経てラテン語 glūten（にかわ）に由来する。glūten は「くっつける」意の語根で、グルテン（gluten）と同源。関連語: gluten, agglutinate（凝集する）。
Glued is the past-participial form of glue. The word glue entered English through Old French glu and ultimately derives from Latin glūten, meaning “glue” or a sticky substance. Gluten is historically related through the same Latin source. The physical idea of substances sticking together later produced figurative expressions in which a person’s eyes, attention, or body seem firmly attached to a screen, seat, or object.
