覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
動詞 mandate「権限をもって義務付ける」に -ed を加えた過去分詞が形容詞化した語です。語末が e なので d だけを加え、発音は /ˈmeɪndeɪtɪd/。mandated training や mandated safety rules のように、法律・規則によって必須となったものと結び付けます。
Connect mandated with the verb mandate, meaning to require something through official authority. Because mandate already ends in silent e, only d is added in writing, although the ending is pronounced as an extra syllable: /ˈmeɪndeɪtɪd/. Picture a rule issued by a government, school, or employer: mandated training, a mandated health check, or mandated safety standards. Unlike recommended, mandated means that compliance is required, not merely advised.
例文

mandated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 mandatum(命令、委任)から。mandare(手に委ねる)は manus(手)+ dare(与える)の合成語。「手渡して任せる」が原義で、そこから「命じる・義務付ける」の意味に発展した。関連語: mandate(命令)、manual(手の、手引き)。
Mandated is the past-participial form of mandate. Mandate entered English through Latin mandatum, meaning a command or commission, from mandare, “to entrust or order.” Mandare is traditionally analyzed as manus, “hand,” plus dare, “to give,” conveying the idea of placing something in another person’s hands. The adjective developed from the verb’s sense of officially requiring an action.
