解説 Definition

教え込まれた、または強く印象付けられた。繰り返しや強調により記憶に刻み込まれた。

Inculcated describes an idea, habit, or belief that has been taught strongly and repeatedly until it becomes firmly fixed in someone’s mind. It is often used for values, discipline, or social attitudes learned over time.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

inculcated は、まず動詞 inculcate「繰り返し教え込む」の過去分詞形だと押さえると記憶しやすい。単に learned ではなく、価値観・規律・習慣・信念などが反復によって深く染み込んだ感じ。instilled に近いが、より「何度も言われて身についた」響きが強い。inculcated values / discipline のような形で覚えると使いやすい。calculated とつづりを見間違えやすい点にも注意。

Remember this as the past-participle form of "inculcate," a formal verb meaning to teach something again and again. The memory hook is repetition: values, habits, or discipline are pushed in until they stay. Learn it in common pairs like "inculcated values" or "inculcated discipline."

例文

inculcated の語源・成り立ち Etymology

inculcated はラテン語 inculcare『踏み込む、強く押しつける』に由来し、in-『中へ』+ calcare『踏む』に分けられる。知識を頭に『踏み込んで刻みつける』イメージが、教え込まれたという意味に直結する。関連語は inculcate, recalcitrant

Inculcated comes from Latin `inculcare`, meaning "to press in" or "stamp in," from `in-` "into" and `calcare` "to tread or press with the heel." The original image was of something being forced deeply in. That physical idea later became the mental sense of teaching an idea so firmly that it stays fixed.
