覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
head「頭」が動詞になると、「頭・先端をある方向へ向けて進む」という意味になり、headed はその過去形・過去分詞です。語末が /d/ なので -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。headed to the station、headed north、headed home のように、目的地・方角を後ろに置く型で覚えましょう。
Start with head as the body part that normally points in the direction of movement. As a verb, head therefore means to go toward a place or proceed in a direction, and headed marks the past action. Because head ends in the /d/ sound, the -ed ending adds a syllable and is pronounced /ɪd/. Learn the common patterns headed to the station, headed north, and headed home. Notice that home normally needs no to. This directional picture separates the meaning from other uses of headed, such as “led” or “having a particular kind of head.”

headed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 hēafod（頭）から派生した動詞 head（向かう）の過去形。頭＝先頭が向く方向に進むイメージ。header（見出し）、headlong（まっしぐらに）と同根。体の最上部が進行方向を決めることから「向かう」の意味に。
Head comes from Old English hēafod, the ordinary noun for the upper part of the body. English later developed a verb from the noun, using the idea that the head or front points and leads movement in a particular direction. Headed adds the regular past-tense and past-participle suffix -ed. In this form the ending is pronounced as an extra syllable because the base verb already ends in /d/.
