覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
inaugurated は inaugurate「正式に発足させる・就任させる」に -d を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。原形が e で終わるため -ed ではなく綴り上は d だけを加え、語末は /ɪd/ と発音します。newly inaugurated council「新たに正式発足した評議会」のまとまりで、単に作られただけでなく公式に開始された状態を覚えます。
Inaugurated is the past tense and past participle of inaugurate. Since the base already ends in e, only d is added in spelling, and the ending is pronounced /ɪd/ after the final /t/. Link it with inauguration, an official beginning or installation. The phrase a newly inaugurated council suggests more than a group that has simply started meeting: it has been formally established or launched. This sense of an official opening helps distinguish inaugurated from the broader words started, created, or begun.
例文
The newly inaugurated council held its first meeting today.

An inaugurated program began offering classes in April.
発足したプログラムは4月に授業の提供を始めました。
The inaugurated committee will review the town's safety plan.

inaugurated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
inaugurated はラテン語 inaugurare に由来し、in-「中へ」+ augur「鳥占い師・吉兆を見る人」から成ります。もとは「吉兆を確かめて任命する」ことで、augur や augury と同根なので、「正式に発足した」の意味が腑に落ちます。
Inaugurated is formed from inaugurate and the past-participle ending -d. Inaugurate comes through Latin inaugurāre, originally referring to consecrating or installing someone after consulting augurs. An augur interpreted omens, especially signs involving birds, before important public acts. From this formal ritual context, the verb developed the modern meanings “install in office” and “mark the official beginning of an institution, program, or period.”
