覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
meditated は原形 meditate の過去形・過去分詞です。語末が e の動詞なので -d だけを加えて meditate → meditated となり、末尾は /ɪd/ と発音します。meditated for twenty minutes、meditated to calm her mind のように、時間や目的と組み合わせて覚えます。
Start with the base verb meditate. Because it already ends in silent e, add only d in writing: meditate → meditated. The final -ed is pronounced /ɪd/ because the base ends in a /t/ sound, giving four syllables in common pronunciation. Remember it in time and purpose patterns: “She meditated for twenty minutes,” “He meditated every morning,” and “They meditated to calm their minds.” Although the entry may label the participial form adjectivally, the examples chiefly show the simple past verb. The base meditate must remain your anchor for both grammar and meaning.

meditated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 meditari（深く考える）が語源で、med-（考慮する）という語根を持つ。関連語に medicine（元は「治療を考える」）、remedy がある。古代ローマでは心を集中させる行為全般を指し、そこから「瞑想する」という意味に発展した。
Meditated is formed from meditate plus the regular past-tense and past-participle ending -ed. Meditate entered English through Latin meditari, meaning “to reflect upon, consider, or practice,” and related forms transmitted through French and Latin. Its meaning developed from deliberate thought and mental exercise to include focused contemplative practice. Since meditate ends in e, only d is added in spelling, while the ending is pronounced as a separate /ɪd/ syllable after /t/.
