覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
nausea（吐き気）を知っていれば、nauseated は「吐き気の状態になった」と自然につながる。形容詞でも語尾の -ed は「その反応を受けている本人」を連想すると覚えやすく、I feel nauseated. は「気持ち悪い」。似た nauseous は会話では同じ意味でも使われるが、本来は「吐き気を催させる側」。motion sickness、food poisoning、a nauseating smell などの典型場面とセットで覚えると、意味と使い分けが残りやすい。
If you know `nausea`, then `nauseated` is the state of having that feeling. The `-ed` ending can help you remember the person is receiving the feeling: `I feel nauseated.` Compare it with `nauseous`, which is often used the same way in conversation, but originally describes something that causes the feeling. Link it with common situations like motion sickness or food poisoning.

nauseated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
nauseated はラテン語 nausea「吐き気」に由来し、その奥にはギリシャ語 nausia「船酔い」があり、さらに naus「船」につながります。nausea や nauseous と同根で、「もとは船に揺られて気分が悪くなる感覚」と知ると、吐き気の語感が生々しく伝わります。
Nauseated comes from nausea, from Latin, which goes back to Greek nausia, originally meaning seasickness. That Greek word is linked to naus, meaning "ship," so the earliest idea was feeling sick from being on a boat. It is related to English nausea and nauseous.
