覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
negotiate は e で終わるので、-d を足して negotiated にします。語尾の -ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。合意した価格や契約書を、交渉を終えた場面のイメージとして覚えましょう。
Since negotiate ends in e, add -d to form negotiated. The -ed ending is pronounced /ɪd/. Picture an agreed price or a contract as a memory cue for a completed negotiation.

negotiated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 negotium（仕事、商売）から。neg-（否定）+ otium（暇）で「暇でない状態→仕事→取引」が原義。交渉とは本来「暇を否定して働くこと」。関連語: negotiate, negotiation。
Negotiated is the regular past and past-participle form of negotiate. Negotiate ultimately comes from Latin negotiari, meaning to conduct business, derived from negotium, “business” or “occupation.” Negotium was formed from a negative element and otium, “leisure,” so its literal background is the state of not being at leisure. Through commerce and dealings, the verb developed its modern sense of discussing terms to secure an agreement.
