鼻がついた
解説 Definition
nosed は「鼻がついた、ある形や特徴の鼻を持つ」という形容詞で、鼻に似た突き出た先端についても使われます。主に long-nosed や red-nosed のような複合語で使います。
Nosed means having a nose, or having a nose or projecting front part of a specified kind. It is used mainly in compounds such as long-nosed, red-nosed, or sharp-nosed rather than as an independent adjective.
使い方 Usage
- 主に特徴を表す語と組み合わせます。long-nosed は「鼻の長い」、red-nosed は「赤い鼻のついた」です。 Nosed is mainly combined with a word specifying a feature: long-nosed means having a long nose, and red-nosed means having a red nose.
- 名詞の前では a long-nosed mask のように、特徴を表す語と nosed をハイフンでつなぎます。 Before a noun, join the feature word and nosed with a hyphen, as in a long-nosed mask.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
nose に「…を備えた」を表す -ed が付いた形と覚えましょう。語末に e があるので d を加え、語末の -sed は /zd/ と発音します。
Remember nosed as nose + -ed meaning “having” or “provided with.” Since nose ends in e, add only d. The ending -sed is pronounced /zd/.
例文
A long-nosed mask hung on the wall.
鼻の長い仮面が壁に掛かっていました。
The child drew a red-nosed face on the paper.
その子は紙に赤い鼻のついた顔を描きました。

nosed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
nosed は nose に『…を備えた』を表す -ed が付いた形で、語の作りどおり『鼻のある』『鼻形の』という意味になる。nose は古英語 nosu、さらにゲルマン祖語 *nuson にさかのぼり、関連語に nostril, nosy があり、突き出た先端を鼻に見立てて意味が広がった。
Nosed is formed from nose with the adjective-forming suffix -ed, meaning “having or furnished with.” Nose comes from Old English nosu and is inherited from a Germanic source. Its literal anatomical meaning was later extended to projecting or forward parts of objects. This development explains compounds in which -nosed describes either an actual nose or a pointed, nose-like end. Related English words include nostril and nosy.
