覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
miscarried は原形 miscarry「流産する」の過去形・過去分詞です。語末が子音＋y なので、y を i に替えて -ed を付け、miscarried となります。発音は /ˌmɪsˈkærid/ で、-ed は /ɪd/ ではなく /d/。had miscarried や miscarried early の形で覚え、本人への言及では配慮ある表現を選びます。
Start with the base verb miscarry. Because it ends in a consonant plus y, change y to i before adding -ed: miscarry becomes miscarried. The pronunciation is /ˌmɪsˈkærid/, with the final -ed pronounced /d/, not as a separate /ɪd/ syllable. Learn it in patterns such as she miscarried early and she had miscarried. The form can be a simple past verb or a past participle after have. Since it describes pregnancy loss, associate it with careful medical or supportive language and avoid treating it as a casual synonym for an ordinary failure.

miscarried の語源・成り立ち Etymology
miscarried は mis-「悪く・誤って」+ carry「運ぶ」から成り、carry は古フランス語経由で後期ラテン語 carricare にさかのぼります。もとは「うまく運べない・失敗する」で、妊娠を満期まで運べないことから「流産した」。関連語は carriage, carrier。
Miscarried is the inflected form of miscarry, built historically from mis-, indicating something going wrongly, and carry. Carry entered English through Old French and is ultimately associated with Late Latin carricare, “to load a vehicle.” Miscarry once had broader senses involving failure or an unsuccessful outcome. Its pregnancy-related sense developed from the idea that gestation was not carried to term. The spelling changes from final y to i before the regular suffix -ed.
