覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
mistook は mistake「間違える、取り違える」の不規則な過去形です。take→took と同様に mistake→mistook となり、語幹の母音も /eɪ/ から /ʊ/ に変わります。mistook A for B「AをBと取り違えた」を一まとまりで覚え、過去分詞 mistaken とは区別しましょう。
Build mistook from mis- (“wrongly”) and took, the past tense of take. Just as take changes to took, mistake changes irregularly to mistook, with the vowel changing from /eɪ/ to /ʊ/. The most useful pattern is mistook A for B: “I mistook the visitor for my teacher.” It can also describe misunderstanding information, as in mistook the date. Keep the verb forms together as a set: mistake for the base and present form, mistook for the past, and mistaken for the past participle.
例文
I mistook the visitor for my old teacher.
私はその訪問者を昔の先生と間違えました。
She mistook the date and arrived a day early.
彼女は日付を間違えて、1日早く到着しました。
They mistook the warning sign for an advertisement.
彼らはその警告表示を広告と勘違いしました。

mistook の語源・成り立ち Etymology
mistook は mistake の過去形で、mis-「誤って」+ take「取る」が核です。take は古ノルド語 taka、mistake も古ノルド語 mistaka の影響を受け、mistaken と同じく「取り違える」がそのまま「間違える」になった語です。
Mistook is the irregular past tense of mistake. The verb combines mis-, meaning “wrongly,” with take, and was also influenced by Old Norse mistaka, “to take in error.” Its central image is taking or identifying something wrongly. The historical vowel change follows take and took: mistake becomes mistook, while the corresponding past participle is mistaken.
