指名された
解説 Definition
nominated は「指名された、推薦された」を表す形容詞で、賞・役職・任務などの候補として正式に名前が挙げられた状態を示します。
Nominated describes someone or something that has been formally proposed, selected, or named as a candidate for an award, position, duty, or membership. It often appears after be or directly before a noun.
使い方 Usage
- 名詞の前では the nominated leader「指名されたリーダー」のように使います。 Before a noun, use expressions such as the nominated leader to describe a leader who has been named or proposed.
- be nominated for an award は「賞の候補に推薦される」です。受賞や最終的な任命が決まったとは限りません。 Be nominated for an award means being put forward as a candidate. Nomination does not necessarily mean winning the award or receiving a final appointment.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
nominate に -d を付けた過去形・過去分詞と同じ形で、-ed は /ɪd/ と発音します。nom を name「名前」と結び付け、「候補として名前を挙げられた」と覚えましょう。
Nominated has the same form as the past tense and past participle of nominate, with -ed pronounced /ɪd/. Connect nom with name and picture someone named as a candidate.

nominated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 nōmināre(名前を挙げる)から派生。語根は nōmen(名前)で、「名指しで選ぶ」が原義。関連語:nominal(名目上の)、noun(名詞)。人の名前を呼んで役職や賞の候補に挙げる行為が「指名」の意味につながった。
Nominated is the past-participle form of nominate. Nominate comes from Latin nominare, “to name,” derived from nomen, “name.” Its earliest core idea is therefore naming or identifying a person. From this developed the modern institutional sense of formally putting someone’s name forward for an office, committee, duty, or prize. Related English words built on the same historical name root include nominal and nomination.
