nosed
鼻がついた
解説 Definition
nosed は nose（鼻をつける、鼻で押す）の過去形・過去分詞で、形容詞としては「鼻がついた、鼻の形がある」という意味です。ふつうは red-nosed や long-nosed のように、鼻の特徴を表す語と組み合わせて使われます。
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.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
nosed は nose に「…を備えた」の -ed が付いた形で、語末 e の後に d を加え、-sed は /zd/ と発音します。単独より long-nosed、red-nosed、sharp-nosed のような複合語で使うのが典型です。前半が鼻や先端の特徴を指定すると覚えましょう。
Build nosed directly from nose plus -ed in the sense “provided with” or “having.” Since nose already ends in e, only d is added, and the ending is pronounced /zd/. The word normally needs another element before it: long-nosed describes the shape, red-nosed the color, and sharp-nosed the pointed form of a nose or nose-like projection. Remember that the first part supplies the feature and nosed means “having that kind of nose.” Used alone, the adjective is much less common.

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.
