覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
negotiated は negotiate「交渉する、話し合って取り決める」の過去形・過去分詞です。語末の e を落として -ed を付け、発音は /ɪd/ になります。negotiate a contract・price・better terms のように、単なる会話ではなく、異なる希望を調整して条件や合意をまとめる場面と結び付けて覚えましょう。
Link negotiated to the base verb negotiate: people exchange proposals and adjust their positions to reach acceptable terms. To form the past tense or past participle, the final silent e is replaced by -ed, giving negotiated, with /ɪd/ at the end. Learn it with typical objects: negotiated a contract, negotiated the price, and negotiated better terms. Unlike merely discussed, negotiated suggests that the discussion involved differing interests and aimed at an agreement. A signed contract or an agreed price provides a clear image of the completed action.
例文

The price was negotiated before the sale.
価格は販売前に交渉済みでした。
She negotiated better terms for her team.

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.
