覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
hand「手渡す」に過去・過去分詞の -ed が付いた規則変化で、handed と綴ります。語末が /d/ なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音し、全体は「ハンディド」に近くなります。be handed a map や keys were handed to him の形で「物を渡される」と覚え、hand in「提出する」と区別します。
Handed is the regular past-tense and past-participle form of the verb hand, meaning to give or pass something to someone. Add -ed to hand; because the base ends in the sound /d/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/, giving two syllables. For the target sense, remember the passive pattern: a person is handed an object, or an object is handed to a person. Examples include guests were handed maps and the keys were handed to the manager. Do not confuse this with hand in, a phrasal verb meaning to submit work or documents. The required base-family word is hand.

handed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 hand（手）に過去分詞接尾辞 -ed が付いた形。ゲルマン祖語 *handuz に遡り、「手で渡す・扱う」動作から派生。関連語: handle（取っ手／扱う）、handy（手軽な）。手の動作が転じて「渡された」を表す。
Handed is formed from the verb hand and the regular past-tense or past-participle suffix -ed. The verb developed from the noun hand, inherited from Old English hand and ultimately from a Germanic source. The physical action of transferring something with the hand produced the verb meaning “give” or “pass.” In handed, the suffix is pronounced /ɪd/ because the base ends in /d/. Related English formations include handle and handy.
