覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
inoculate は e で終わるので、そのまま -d を付けて inoculated とします。最後の音が /t/ なので語尾は /ɪd/。接種を受けた患者や、菌を植え付けた培養物のイメージで覚えましょう。
Inoculate ends in e, so add -d to form inoculated. Since the final sound of inoculate is /t/, the ending is pronounced /ɪd/. Picture patients who have received a vaccine or a culture into which microorganisms have been introduced.
例文

接種を受けた患者たちは数時間観察されました。
An inoculated culture was kept at a stable temperature.

inoculated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 inoculare(接ぎ木する)が語源。in-(中に)+ oculus(目、芽)で「芽を植え込む」が原義。植物の接ぎ木から医学の「接種」へ意味が拡張した。関連語: ocular(眼の)、binocular(双眼鏡)。
Inoculated is the past-tense and past-participle form of inoculate. Inoculate comes through Latin inoculare, “to graft or implant a bud,” built from in-, “in or into,” and oculus, literally “eye” and also used for a plant bud. The term first referred to grafting plants; its sense later expanded to introducing biological material into a body or culture, including vaccination.
