覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
made は make の不規則な過去形・過去分詞で、発音は /meɪd/。make の語尾に単純に -ed を付ける形ではない。「be made of+材料」「be made in+場所」「be made by+製作者」の三つをセットで覚えると、「作られた」の受け身用法を正確に使える。
Made is the irregular past tense and past participle of make; it is pronounced /meɪd/ and is not formed by simply adding -ed. For the meaning “produced,” learn three common passive patterns together: be made of wood identifies a material, be made in Japan identifies a place of production, and be made by my mother identifies the maker. These fixed combinations make the grammatical role easy to recognize. Also compare made from, which is often used when the original material has been transformed and is no longer easily recognizable.

made の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 macian(作る、形づくる)から。ゲルマン祖語 *makōną に由来し、印欧祖語 *mag-(こねる)が語源。関連語:make, match。粘土をこねて形を作る動作が原義で、広く「作る・製造する」の意味に発展した。
Made is the inherited past form and past participle of make. Make comes from Old English macian, meaning “to make, construct, or arrange,” and is related to forms in other Germanic languages. Its deeper history is commonly connected with the physical action of shaping or kneading material. The modern spelling made reflects historical changes in the verb rather than the regular addition of the past-tense ending -ed.
